Christmas season has started. I suggest you start playing the good little boys and girls that you are so you can actually ask Santa for an iPad Mini! Go wash the dishes, chop chop!
Apple has just announced the arrival of the iPad Mini at their 2012 Press Conference. It is indeed smaller, thinner and manufactured with the same process as the iPad 5. No retina display, though. I have a feeling all the teenagers and kids around the world will be hoarding their allowances and cash gifts to buy this! (Or perhaps complain incessantly to their parents to buy them one)
It is actually more affordable at $329 for the 16GB WiFi version. Although I don't think the $329 is worth it considering the features aren't good enough. I think this would be more of a fad-sell rather than buying it for its features.
My iPad 2 actually has been subject to abuse from my boys, so I wonder how the iPad Mini will be able to handle wear and tear. Slimmer, smaller and definitely looks more fragile.

The camera is a dinosaur at only 5 megapixels. Do they really expect everyone to just Instagram photos taken by a lousy iPad camera? Why don't they just get the same camera from the iPhone and plug it in the iPad? People will be willing to pay for that kind of quality rather than lose significant impromptu moments that they may need a gadget in hand.
This new iPad isn't as life-changing as other Apple products. It seems it's not exactly worth the price tag.
