Introducing the iPad 3 - Retina display, 4 times the image data, improved everything inside to provide the same speed and battery life while pumping 4 times the image data. And kept the same price. "Oh, how boring....I'd never want one of those"
Introducing the iPad 4 - in only 6 months we've doubled the speed, improved the wifi, and kept the battery life and price. "Wait, I just bought my New iPad only 6 months ago....now I'm angry".
It never ends. And it never matters one bit. It won't matter this time either. Apple perennially comes in tops for customer satisfaction. Apple not only makes products and markets them superbly -- and does so profitably -- but those who buy their products are the most happy of all customers.

You are severely exaggerating the response to Apple products and making apples to oranges comparisons. Again, as I referenced in my previous reply to you, for the most part with Apple's previous iOS hardware announcements, they were releasing something cutting edge and unique in the marketplace.
This is NOT the case with the iPad Mini. In fact it's behind the times. So while some may have griped about Apple's prices in the past, now they are griping about the specs/technology as well.
