I'm a happy inmate of the Apple ecosystem. I have an iPad 3 which serves me well in place of the laptop I would otherwise have. But I will add a retina mini when one comes out, because of weight & portability considerations. I will buy it in lieu of buying another full sized next generation iPad - I'll keep my 3 for reading newspapers & magazines, & watching videos. Unless, of course, it turns out that the mini can handle those functions well enough to suit me. I expect I'll get one with cellular capability, for traveling.
If I did not have an iPad, and were buying my first, it would be the mini. Looks to me like Steve was wrong about this one - or engaging in misdirection.
