iPad mini appears to be a weird shape, doesn't look like it would be overly comfortable to hold in one hand.

$329, good for the stock price I guess.

Wow thats expensive. it's not really competing with the nexus 7 or the kindle.

Stock down $10 since the announcement.

Down $15 now.

I'm guessing that 329 is for a 16gig model.

32 gig Nexus 7 rumored to be going for 250.

Have to say I'm fairly impressed with Apple's product again in terms of body design. Managing to remove that much bezel is going to be a big thing to compare between the Nexus 7 and iPad Mini. The price point of $330 might be high for some people but since most Apple consumers are already used to or are comfortable with paying a premium, I don't see it being a significant negative at all.

I was hoping for a lower price point, but it won't stop me from getting one.... I'm just torn between a 4th gen iPad or a iPad mini... i need to upgrade my original iPad.

So what's that gonna be, $399 in Canada for the Mini? Yeesh.

I can't believe they already released another version of the normal size iPad.

Interesting that the 3 just goes away, as it was never really the 3, but rather "the new iPad".

Gen 3 has a retina though. I think Gen 3 just goes away.

Pretty cool the price point doesn't change for Canadians.
