Looks like a nice bit of kit as expected really and price wise £269 isn't too bad really.
Also, what's 'new' about the Retina Display iPad? They've stamped 'new' on the top but is that because they've just renamed it from 'New iPad'?
Prices confirmed here - http://www.apple.com/uk/ipad/compare/
So the 'new iPad' no longer exists? What is the difference between the 'new iPad' and iPad with Retina Display? Doesn't the new iPad have retina display?
Difference is new 2x faster chip and the new connection, also couple things with wifi etc I think, that's it.
as above the "new" bits are the A6x chip and lightning still retina display
Heart says get a 16Gb mini. Head says buy a Retina iPad.
Hard call.

I'm surprised at the price tbh. If it's been designed to compete with the Nexus 7 (which clearly it has) then it is still almost £100 more expensive if you compare both 16GB models.
My thinking was that people got the Nexus tablets because they were a much more affordable option. This iPad Mini is still, IMO, a long way from being affordable for many.
Apple people will have no issue paying an extra £100 TBH.
Some people dont mind paying extra for a better quality product.
So yes...the initial "bargain" is probably the N7. So go ahead, buy a tablet that has no apps, poor security and will be abandoned in a year for OS updates and spams you with ads.
So true, they could have stuck the faster processor and retina in this release but they would be struggling for what to do next. All getting a bit predictable.No retina display on the iPad Mini so it's of no interest to me. I will wait 6 months and buy the retina version.

iPads are now the tablet of choice, it's a universal agreement that it's the best device overall and this is where the 7 will struggle. People want the best experience, regardless of price or technical superiority.

What, you don't get that with iOS? SRS?
I'm confused by the current iPad range now, maybe someone can enlighten me. We've had the following models..
iPad 1
iPad 2
'New iPad'
So is this version shown here (http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_ipad), 'iPad with Retina Display' an updated version of 'New iPad' or is it an iPad 4 or is it currently the same as the one out earlier this year?
