The Ipad mini is an interesting little piece of kit. The screen is a nice size, although at times you wish it was smaller and when watching movies you wish it was bigger. It is a vivid screen, not as good as the retina display on the newest ipad but still a cracker. All of the photos on your phone transfer across instantly. Most of the apps on the iphone will also transfer across and work perfectly on the ipad. It is better for alot of games as you feel more immersed in the gameplay. However, I find that for games like Temple Run the size of even the Ipad mini hinders the player. This is a tiny unimportant hindrance though. Straight from the off you can feel the quality, design and craftsmanship that has gone into making this wonderful piece of kit. Its not perfect, I still much prefer the Ipad, but it is a fun little tool for around the house. I just don't see the need for it if you have an iphone and an ipad already. Maybe a good replacement, cheaper.
