[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1562773"] The first-gen iPad mini is still sold as new by Apple, and runs the latest OS. So no, it is not obsolete nor is it in danger of becoming so anytime soon. That said, the original iPad mini is obviously going to go obsolete more quickly than, say, the second-gen iPad mini. But that's probably two years off, maybe longer if the users' needs are typical. I have a friend still using my old 16GB iPad 1, still does everything he needs it to do and a surprising number of apps still work with it on iOS 5. It's all a question of how important the latest apps are. [/QUOTE]
