Apple accounts for more than 60% share of the tablet market. But people who do not wish a tablet that big (9.8in) go with other options like Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and Google Nexus 7, both of which come in 7 inches. So to lure that class of people, Apple has come up with iPad mini, a tablet 7.9 inches diagonally and has an aspect ratio of 4:3. It comes with a Dual-Core A5 chip same as that of iPad 2.

Well, personally I didn’t like it much.
I feel it’s just two inch bigger version of Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with iOS.
Moreover, its resolution is not even close to its competitors like Kindle, Nexus 7.
This is next on my list. iPad always looked bigger to me, despite its awesomeness. But iPad mini is all I need. Handy , portable and best iOS
