The iPad may have caused a storm when it was first released, but its somewhat hefty price tag was still a barrier to purchasing for many of us. What's more, there's still a relatively large portion of people that simply don't want to carry around a 10" screen and considering one of the main benefits of the iPad is its portability, it was a little odd that it wasn't all that portable. Along came the Google Nexus 7, which had a considerably lower price point and a more convenient screen size and changed the way that we use tablets - Apple certainly paid attention, at least in terms of the portability of their own device, because they have released the Apple iPad Mini.
The first thing to consider and to paw over is the screen. Rather than 10" monster of the iPad, the Mini has a 7.9" screen and while this is smaller there are those that believe Apple should have gone further and pared it down even further. In reality though, this choice of size means that all of the existing iPad apps and games can also be played on the Mini and it is just about small enough to be considered convenient.
In terms of screen quality, though, both the Kindle Fire HD and the new Google Nexus 7 have better pixel density. The Apple iPad Mini can only muster up 163ppi whereas its competitors are able to boast much more impressive 216ppi screens.
There are other areas where the Apple iPad Mini disappoints too, and not least in the cameras. The main iPad was disappointing in this respect and rather than learn from this by offering improved Quality in the Apple iPad Mini. The 5mp rear camera performs OK in reasonable light but once you are in low light situations you will not enjoy the picture clarity or quality that it produces. The images may be OK for social networking but you won't really want to show them off to too many people.
In terms of price, the Apple iPad Mini is expensive. The basic 16GB option will set you back £269 and because of the necessary use of solid state storage, if you want 64GB of storage then you are looking at as much as £529 for what is basically the GTi version with LTE and all the bells and whistles. The A5 processor is good, though, and will at least match the processors used in other devices like the Google Nexus 7 and the Amazon Kindle Fire HD.
For those that baulk at the price of Apple products, and don't see that the better design and some of the improved features may make it worth the investment, you are unlikely to see the value in the iPad Mini, especially when there is the likes of the Google Nexus 7 waiting for you. However, for those that really wanted an iPad but felt the device was either too big or a little too pricey to warrant buying then the iPad Mini is worth taking for a spin.
