I have the iPad 3 and the iPad 4 will soon be out. The iPad mini starts at $329 for 16 GB and goes up to 64 GB at $529 for Wi-Fi. It is $100 more for cellular. The difference between an iPad and the iPad 3 is $100. Personally, the extra $100 is worth it to get the full iPad. If you do graphics like I do, the extra money is well worth it.

The Nitty Gritty

The iPad 3 has a Dual core A6x processor. The iPad Mini has the Dual Core A5 processor. Therefore the iPad 3 slightly faster than the iPad Mini. The iPAd Mini does not have a Retina display so images will not be as sharp as the iPad 3. The resolution of the iPad is 1024 x768. This is about half that of the iPad 3. The weight of the iPad Mini .86 pounds. This is less than half the weight of the iPod 3. This will be a plus for it. It is .10 mm thinner than than the iPad 3. I imagine people will like that. I imagine people will like that.
