<p><strong><a rel="attachment wp-att-12148" href="http://www.tonepublications.com/review/apple-ipad-mini/attachment/1-ta_50-ipad-mini/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-12148" title="1 TA_50 iPad Mini" src="http://www.tonepublications.com/media/1-TA_50-iPad-Mini.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="562" /></a>Though an iPad mini with a Retina display is probably be right around the corner, the current version, with its 7.9-inch display (versus 9.7 inches for the standard iPad), does remarkably well at delivering the iPad experience in a smaller, more-compact package. Best of all, Apple has trimmed the price:* The mini starts at $329 for a 16-GB, Wi-Fi-only model.</strong></p>
<p>Feeling lighter than its 11-ounce weight, the mini delivers all the features you’re used to in the full-sized pad: front and rear cameras, FaceTime capability and a similar range of memory, from 16 to 64 GB.</p>
<p>Utilizing the same dual-core A5 processor as the iPad 2, the mini feels a bit sluggish in comparison to the current iPad, which has the A6X unit under the hood, when playing video games or surfing the web.* The mini still does admirably well with a fast Wi-Fi connection.</p>
<p>Much like Amazon’s Kindle Fire, or some earlier Android tablets, the mini seems to be a better Kindle than magazine reader.* But it’s a <em>mega</em> remote control for any of your music servers or other devices so equipped—and iTunes is also a blast to use on the mini via AirPlay, if you have a B&W Zeppelin or other AirPlay-enabled music player.* The additional screen real estate of the mini a blessing for those used to an iPod.</p>
<p>If you consider the current iPod touch a baby iPad, the family is now seamless, with offering in kid’s meals, regular and large sizes.* Should you be a multiple iDevice family, the mini shares the same power connector/charger as the iPhone 5.* Audiophiles will be disappointed to know that this means it is <em>not </em>compatible with the Wadia 170i or 171i docks.</p>

<p>MSRP: $329 – $659 (depending on configuration)</p>
