And so?

That's been "supposed" from the instant everyone knew it wasn't a retina display.

What else is new?

I know right? Updates are starting to get predictable and the leaks aren't really helping in the surprise factor. The only real surprise this year was the iPad 4.

I think most people assume this will happen. Releasing the iPad Mini without Retina is just a sales ploy to get people to buy both versions.

Sadly, it will probably work as well - although I am very happy with my new iPad Mini :Smirk:

Not sure if I will bother to replace it when the Retina version is released.

Strange how heavy a full-size iPad seems now. I never noticed that before I got used to the Mini. I love it :)

I read somewhere that water is wet. Who could have guessed?

I found the same thing after holding the mini in the Apple store then walking to the next table and picking up an iPad. Never thought my iPad felt all the heavy!

This is why my iPad is on my nightstand, and my iPad Mini is with me at all times.

Weight is why I quit using the iPad in favor of the Kindle Fire and my MBA a long time ago.

Just sold my iPad yesterday, so I may have to go look at the mini while I have money now.
