iPad Mini is here, and yep, it's just like your old iPad (but smaller)

10/23/2012

Guess what? Apple announced today that it has a bunch of new products that will make all the stuff you bought six months ago as cool as an old brick. But what the world couldn't wait to hear about is the iPad Mini. Measuring just 7.2 mm thick and weighing just .68 pounds, the new Mini is meant to be a direct challenger to competing tablets such as the Google Nexus 7. The new must-have gadget features a screen that measures 7.9 inches diagonally and all the old standbys your old iPad2 had, like a 10-hour battery life and an A5 processor. Mini pre-orders start Oct. 26 and the device will ship on Nov. 2 and set you back $329. [Source]
