    No iPad mini for me until Retina display added. I will go touch one in the store just to confirm my suspicion.

    Joanne,

    I played with one at the Best Buy in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. I am smitten. The fit and finish. Wow. Dozens of folks came in and disregarded everything else including its big brother. I want!, the retina display is not an issue with me. Just holding it in my hand and goofing with it. My next Apple purchase. It will be set up with minimal apps( my app addiction from you, the app whisperer is a bit overwhelming at this point) strictly image, video and audio acquisition device for me. My iPad 2 will be the work horse, beta testing machine.

    It will be big…

    Be well,

    Laurence
