According to the tech spec I read on apple.ca, the ipad mini is running an A4 with a 1.8 mpx front camera and no reer camera. I asked about this on list and received no responses. As far as I know, that is the state of things.
Some one who is totally blind wouldn't need the retina display, but I work for partially sighted people as well who would greatly benefit from the retina display. It's also important to realize that blind people have sighted friends and family that they want to share content with, and some of them have a concern for the enjoyment of those sighted people in their lives. Also, as a company providing training and product demos and other services, I personally want my equipment to look it's best. I'd rather show something that is better.
