CL4, I have been waiting on a thin, small chinned iMac. The price difference is not enough to get the older one. Getting ahead of myself, AAPL has to be over 700 in January to even think about. Not buying anything right now and told Tammy, Christmas has been canceled until further notice.

So! No iPad mini surprises. But an iPad surprise!
Good lineup.
And yup MB, I want me an iMac too.

Did anyone beside me just order an iPad mini? Absolutely! Ordered one each black & white, both 16gb wifi. One is for my mother, she can pick the color. The other is for me ("research"). Delivers on 11/2. Peripherals were smart covers for both and one lightning-30pin adapter. The adapter won't ship until mid-November, probably still backed up from iPhone5/iPod orders. Actual iPad Mini shipping still says 11/2 as of Friday morning. We'll see when it starts to slip. Side note: we used to post order numbers for people like Deagol to analyze. Is that still a viable method, or did Apple get wise to the tactic and start randomizing? (apologies if this has been hashed out before)

I'm curious to hear if anyone is thinking the same as me: I see the iPad Mini as a very "girly" product. Firstly, because it can fit it in their handbags, which a regular iPad probably can't, and also because it seems perfect for reading books as opposed to magazines, and we know women tend to read more books than men... The fact that the white model has sold out before the black one might support me... what do you think?

Some just want to go with other colors besides black or grey.
Also, white is easier to see in the dark than black.
That said, I am thinking white is more for the ladies.

Received white iMini first. Perfect size for my needs, will likely sell the full size iPad. Love the lightning cable - found myself checking the orientation! Never need to do that again. Restored from a backup of the iPad-3 without even a mention. I was worried about screen resolution and processor hiccups with a 'downgrade'. Also surprised that iTunes did not ask to be updated first. Really a great addition to the lineup.

It will be terribly interesting to see long-term trends of mini vs. regular iPad.
Prediction: a year from now, quarterly sales of mini exceed regular iPad.

the mini is really a great little device. the display is better than good, but doesn't compare with the retina display on my iPad 3. I find it much easier/comfortable to type on the mini...the keyboard is a perfect size. Bigger than the iPhone's and comfortably smaller than the iPad. the reader aspect of the mini is excellent and Siri is there to do one's bidding.
the only set up time consumer was to update it to yesterday's release of iOS 6.0.1; I just set it all up on iTunes from my iPad.
the world is going to want this device...
