Apple iPad mini review: One for the road

09 November 2012
Wait, did hell just freeze over? Maybe a couple of degrees cooler? Rumors of a mini version of the iPad had been laughed at, dodged and denied - not necessarily in that order and often all at once. But here it is - the iPad mini is finally a reality...

                    no,you can't use bluetooth for file transfer..
                    but there are many apps which transfer content through wifi.. be it songs, movies or pics.. anything..

No android tablet in 7inch category can compete with mini on this factor!!! I would recommend anyone to get ipad mini instead of a laggy n crappy android tablet!!!

                                  All those people who are crying about the screen resolution have certainly not used the Ipad mini..
                                  I myself brought one a couple of days back, its my first ios device.
                                  To my suprise, the resolution doesn't look bad. If u coming for a retina display, then u are sure to notice, but for first time users, its not even noticable. Its Apple, they won't bring out a bad device(it sure is not to the top though).
                                  Its a awesome piece overall, feels so good looking and the simplicity of the ios is there to welcome u.
                                  And about the price, here in India its for 21000rs for 16gb WIFI only and also the nexus 7 is for 19000rs. So the difference is like nothing.
                                  Go for Ipad Mini, you won't regret it.
                                  Thanks :)

                                    Looks like a good device but with this year and ipad mini retina mmm. Whatever i still thinking that ipad 2 is a good deal. Nice performance and OS. Good apps, perfect quality audio and good display

Imagine these company profit making like Apple, Google, Exxon contribute to the economy instead of taxing consumers or working class people, we will be back to our Grade GREAT rating. WE THE CONSUMER ARE THE ONE WHO'S HELPING THE ECONOMY, so keep the price low.

If I put 5 or 6 movies on the full 3g = wifi 64g model its already full. PLus it only has a battery life of 7 hours meaning you cant watch more than 3. And it has no USB or SD slot on any of the models and that just complicates it. This thing is just a blown up itouch, I swear you can buy a motorcycle for 830$ bucks, what a waste
