iPad mini Review by Anand Lal Shimpi & Vivek Gowri 11/20/2012 AnandTech
Over the last two months, Apple has updated almost all of its core product lines, with the addition of a 13" model to the Retina MacBook Pro line and new silicon for the iPad and Mac mini to go with ground up redesigns for the iPhone, iMac, iPod touch, and iPod nano. But the biggest story from the "little more" event was definitely the introduction of the iPad mini, a 7.9" counterpart to the 9.7" tablet that started it all. We've been hearing whispers of a 7" Apple-built tablet since even before the original iPad was shown off in January 2010. By late 2011, the speculative consensus seemed to center around a 7.85" iPad targeted at the then-new Kindle Fire, with a 1024x768 resolution that would give it the same pixel density as the iPhone 3GS and a resolution that matched the regular 9.7" iPad. We've basically been hearing about this new device every two weeks since then. Apple's "veil of secrecy" is almost entirely gone at this point, something that is getting more obvious with every new product launch and a fact I think is worth mentioning because we've essentially known what the iPad mini was going to be, design and component-wise, since late summer. ... http://www.anandtech.com/show/6429/ipad-mini-review _______________________________________________ Please be sure to include a URL to the article.
