I agree with you Omar. It is kind of disappointing after all what Steve Jobs said about smaller sized iPads and all. I love it this way, why was the change needed? For those who say it is not ergonomic. Well there are accessories you can add to make it ergonomic like iCushions easily available on http://www.mobiletoyz.co.uk.

The new Touch spex may point to the Mini spex and features. The Touch is now a lean and mean and sleek machine. So Apple has created space for the Touch when the Mini arrives. Best guess for the Mini: Less screen resolution then the Touch, front side camera only, no siri, no passbook. But it will have a bigger screen and all those apps and will sell for $250 to schools. So the Mini for school; the Touch for home. The Mini will be lighter, brighter, thinner, faster and much more useful than the Fire or Nook. Good luck with the Surface, by the way.

Apple knows this – so people will opt for the 16GB model. They charge 100 euros for 8 gigabytes, which is criminal.

I was hoping for a 16G Wifi version for either $249 or $299. $349 is only $50 less than iPad 2, which makes no sense for a consumer looking for a cheap but usable tablet. I already have an iPad 2 so I was just looking for something cheap and small enough to carry.

Should have ordered that 16G Nexus 7 while they still had the $25 Google Play offer. Maybe I’ll wait for the next version and skip buying something that I don’t really need right now.

$249 for an 8GB iPad Mini is overpriced first of all. Second, 8GB for any iOS device is definitely not enough space considering that iOS chews up about 1.5GB of that space. Jeff Bezos was right. 8GB is a non-starter in 2012.

I have to admit that this article is confusing for me as well. Even though you say you don’t convert currencies you show the U.S. conversion for the 8gb in the first paragraph (at $322.60) and then later list say it would be $249. I’m guessing the assumption is that it would go for the $249 price point (especially when you take the VAT into consideration) but the way it’s written is confusing.

I’m interested in getting the mini, but there’s no way I’d pay $300+ for an 8gb device. $350 is pushing it for 16gb and wifi only. If the 8gb is over $300 I’m buying a Nexus 7.
