Thanks. Interesting observations. I didn't buy an iPad Air, as I was eagerly awaiting the retina mini. I picked up a retina mini on Wed. and it's everything I wanted my 1st gen mini to be. The screen is, as expected, miles better. It's a touch heavier, so I can see where one would think the Air is similar in weight.

I am almost sure that the size of the mini is more suited for me and my uses. But now that I actually have the retina mini in hand, I sure may take it with me to stores and do some comparisons.
