I got the nexus 7 about a week or so ago it's very very good I'm surprised at how much I like it.
I was worried that a 7inch model would be sheisse but it's totally a great size. Be it an ipad mini or a nexus 7 the size is pretty good!

Given apples track record, although I quite fancy a mini now, there's no way i'd buy a first gen one.
Bring on the update.
- hardly 1st gen with their tablet, phone and ipod history, though, right?monospaced
- stupid thing to say. It's the first gen ipad mini.set
- please don't call me stupid... it's a smart thing to say since it's the SAME device just in a different size.monospaced

i played with one in the store today.. to be honest, it felt a little plastic.. like if it was dropped, it wouldnt shatter, it would just crack like if you dropped a nokia or something.
was nice tho.. and to be honest, actually made the ipad sitting next to it seem oversized and unwieldy ..
i would probably still buy one.. but yep.. definitely wouldnt treat it like i do the 1st Gen ipad we have.. i dont think the mini would last with my 2 year old drooling all over it like the 1 is..
- so, now sturdy is a problem?monospaced
- no, not a problem.. just seemed a lot more plastic than any apple product that i have played with since the original imacsautoflavour
- imacs.. like i said.. i would still buy one.. just commenting on my experience..autoflavour
- i can film an unboxing video if you want, and then insert the comments in the videoautoflavour
- more plasticy than the plastic iphones from a few years ago?monospaced

I bought one on Friday. I have a first gen ipad which almost never leaves my side at home. This new one is sweet though. Lightning fast (compared to 1st gen ipad) and makes the old one feel like a brick. The display seems great to me (although I've yet to use anything with a retina display) and I'm pretty confident this will get even more hammered than my current ipad.
- does it feel plastic to you though? i guess i am comparing it to my 1st gen ipad and 4S..autoflavour
- No. Feels pretty solid and well put together.JerseyRaindog

what i find le fail at the moment.. is they keep switching between things having retina displays and things not..
it made sense when it was ipad 2 or new ipad 3 WITH retina display..
but then to create a whole new class of ipad, and not put retina display.. its like urgh.. let me guess what next years update will be ..it is pretty nice tho.. but the new imac is the win ..
i just wish i had any money.
