Refreshes are all part of life, technology is always changing. As soon as we purchase an item, we know it will be obsolete in less than a year. Isn't there a Nexxus refresh coming next week, some models will be obsolete? Why slam only Apple?
Not to carry on any longer, I will be ordering the Mini. Why do I like Apple products? Because they work, no hassle. Much more than I can say for the Android tablet I have. I don't want to have to tweak my tablet and hope something works. I want a clean, easy, and enjoyable experience. I want to feel the aluminum in my hands, not plastic and to feel the beauty in the design. Apple is the whole experience, not just here's a piece of hardware.
I understand the 1024x768 resolution. It reproduces the most natural reading experience and provides the best balance in portrait mode. 4:3 ratio creates a feeling more like of a tablet of paper. Apple prepared this to provide an excellent reading experience.
This iPad Mini will barely weigh more than the ereaders we are using. That is pretty amazing to me.
Do I need it? No. But now I can take the Mini places that I've been afraid to take my retina iPad.
MrDoug, if I lived close enough, I'd be proud to stand in line with you.
