Why women prefer Galaxy Note or Nexus 7? Size matters. With their expensive LV bags... no place for full-sized iPad.

Size doesn't matter. Performance is what makes all the difference!

If you ask me, I would recommend the iPad with retina display instead of the mini.
Actually even for the mini you can't put them inside pocket and still have to hold them. I don't think the difference in weight is really THAT much for 2" difference in size.

Agree with you..but there has been so much hype about how much lighter the ipad mini is and its smaller display (8 inches) is a bit odd in size compared to the current 7 inch Android tablets in the market. Even some forumers in another thread are so captivated by its lighter weight and smaller size. But if the ipad mini's price is closer to the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7...its specs may be ignored to make it a good buy.

Added on October 26, 2012, 9:33 pmIpad mini not to against nexus or kindle fire. Just to fill the gap between iphone and ipad.

I do agree that if you dont own any Ipad then will not add some money and go for Ipad4 as it was retina display also with A6 and the new port lighting charging port.... It will last you long for 2yrs or maybe longer.... Instead of going to Ipad Mini which is A5 which Ipad2 using it....

if your statement is true, believe no people will plan to buy ipad 4 later...

ipad mini = ipad 2, it sound reasonable

Was in Samsung show room yesterday. I find Galaxy Tab 7 fit nicely into my hand, but Tab 7.7 is slightly too wide. And iPad mini is even wider...

width
Galaxy Tab 7 - 120.mm
Galaxy Tab 7.7 - 133.0mm
iPad mini - 134.7mm

Better wait for ipad mini2. Better processor with retina display. Apple marketing strategy.

when comparing ipad mini and ipad 4th gen, the different is only chips and retina display. so Ipad mini is the best at this moment since it's small and lighter?

I have been holding on to my iPad first gen since Apple first launch it.  I was the very first to own it before the ipad was official launch in m'sia as I decided to buy a parallel import unit from Sg.  Owning the first iPad open me up to the world of Apple eco-system and I must say its a unique experience like no other.  Ever since then I am an Apple convert as I vow my next PC and laptop will be Apple too once they fail or the need replacement.

I almost upgrade my iPad first gen to the New iPad but decided to wait as my iPad 1 still works fine although very slow.  I thought I have to wait till next year for the next iPad, but Apple surprise everyone with the 4th gen iPad yesterday and a brand new iPad Mini. 

Both iPad Mini and iPad with Retina Display looks awesome in their own rights so that is rather diificult as to which one to choose.  The size and the weight of the Mini makes it really good to hold and carry around but it lacks the Retina Display.  The bigger iPad have nicer display but its a little too heavy.

Damn...maybe I will buy them both for different occasion!

If you do a lot of web browsing, I would advise you to get iPad instead of the mini.

Based on the frugality of yur lifestyle, it's better to stick with ipad4. U have the upper hand advantage on the more advance hardware. Enjoy the real retina display which u don't have a chance on ipad1. Wait for another year or two to switch. iPad mini should come out a better display unit.
The display is a deal breaker for me. Plays a major major role. Once u are used to retina, there's no turning back.
