iPad mini feels like it's two years old already going by specs.
But it's a magical two years. The unicorns are rejoicing over its incredibleness.

429 for iPad mini, really? That's a rip off ... IMO ...

Kinda early for a 4th gen iPad IMO. Isn't the 3rd gen like 6 months old or so?

I have to say that the mini looks competent enough (to keep the tablet apps happy it had to be that resolution or four times as many pixels with the consequent impact on cost) and very thin and light, if a wee bit costly.

But, for me the things that caught my eye were the gorgeous looking new iMac and the unexpected announcement of the 4th gen iPad. (Though maybe that's a necessary maneuver to consolidate on Lightning connectors?)

It was released last March; and this has to suck for people who just bought one.
