The holiday season is approaching and Apple just unleashed two gadgets on the world: the iPad 4 and it's little brother, the iPad Mini. Is the iPad Mini small enough to be a stocking stuffer? I stopped by an Apple Store today since I had a little bit of extra time (not really, but I went anyway). I went to see if they had an iPhone 5 in stock...they did, I hesitated, then it was gone. Then I looked up as one of the Apple employees brought out about 6 small boxes. I thought, oh yeah, the iPad Minis! So I walked around to the two tables that had the iPad Minis. I was able to play with one for a few minutes. It was small and lightweight. I could see why someone would like it.
Along with the iPad Mini, the iPad 4 is also available now. It's probably been slightly lost with the focus on the Mini. The iPad 4 still comes with a Retina display and it is twice as fast as the previous model. There are 275,000 apps built for the iPad. One thing I recently found out, the iPad also has an optional Smart Case. It is similar to the Smart Cover but covers the entire device and it folds into a stand. I'm not sure how long this has been around but I think it's interesting.
Below are some articles that talk about different aspects of the iPad 4 and the iPad Mini.
