iPad mini First Impressions and Photos


I received my iPad mini in the mail yesterday. Later next week, I will publish my review, but here are my first initial impressions for now:

  • I like the form factor a lot. It is easy to hold in one hand and typing with two hands is a breeze.
  • The iPad mini feels great, smooth, and really durable. It doesn’t feel cheap at all like the other seven inch tablets out there.
  • The device is very light weight.
  • It is a bliss to use.
  • Existing iPad apps already work on the iPad mini without any updates, which is a huge win for developers and customers.
  • iPad mini charges really fast.
  • The screen is no Retina display, but it is much more crisper than the iPad 2’s display. First time buyers won’t even notice the difference.
  • Switching between apps is fast and I have not noticed any issues of lag.
  • Battery life is great.
  • The entire iPad mini experience feels very polished.

 

 

Fact: This entire post was created on my iPad mini.
