[QUOTE="dtown8532, post: 37156, member: 320"] Hey guys, I received my new 16gb iPad Mini today in the mail. I know, I know. Why didn't I get a new 4g iPad Retina? Well, for one, I didn't really want to spend $330.00 for the mini, let alone $500.00 for the ipad. But the real reason is that I just didn't want a tablet that large. In fact, I didn't really want one that was almost 8". Since I'm an "Apple guy" my choices were limited to replacing my ipod touch 4g with the new 5g (a whole 1/2" bigger) or the mini. I think the new touch is about 50 bucks overpriced at $300.00. While I do miss the retina display, the shrunken ipad 2 display on the mini is pretty good. The 1024 x 768 suits the smaller size quite well. Another thing was that I liked reading books on my ipod so I still wanted something that could be held in one hand. All in all, I'm satisfied with my decision. My track record for upgrading has been 2-3 years so, by that time, I'm sure the mini will have a retina display. Regarding The Pinball Arcade, I've played a few tables so far and most have performed well. Black Hole has some slowdown during regular gameplay and NGG has some during multiball. Is this consistent with the ipad 2 which is, basically, what an ipad mini is inside? Or is the mini a whole new ios device that has its own suite of quirks and bugs? [/QUOTE]
