As a dutiful Apple fanboy, I dutifully bought the iPad Mini the first friday they became available. My ailing first-gen iPad was starting to give me charging issues, and I wanted to see how technology has miniaturized so quickly.

Delivered Package, sitting on top of my first gen iPad.

No packing peanuts here! Opened package, still on my coaster iPad.

Less than half the weight!

Entire iPad fits in first-gen screen! Same screen resolution, Higher density of pixels make it sharp!

Single hand holding this tiny new device. Ancillary benefit: fits in my back pocket for holding while busy doing other things.
