I am that person.
If it was £100 quid less, I'd buy it.
If it was a retina display and £100
more, I'd probably buy it.
As it is, I'm struggling to justify the price.
For all of the Apple-tax comments, the iPad was never priced a huge amount above its actual competitors, other tablets in the 10" range, it was maybe 10-15% more, maybe as much as 20%. Now with the iPad Mini, that figure is getting up to 75%-100%. If it offered iPad3 resolution, that would make it clearly superior (in that respect only) to the competition, and maybe the markup could be justified.
