Flood of a 7-inch tablet makes Apple tempted to produce it. Through product iPad, Apple finally remove the iPad Mini. In fact, the late Steve Jobs Expressed that indirectly been in no mood to launch a tablet this size. So what would happen if an iPad is a mini? Is the ability is also "mini"?

iPad Mini could be said to be an iPad that is minimized, using a screen measuring 7.9 inches with a 4:3 ratio is fairly small for a tablet. Though iPad mini in fact slightly larger than the 7-inch Android tablet normally. At positioned portrait, the screen is narrower laterally until the edge of the screen frame that is almost touching the tip of the body.

The dimensions of the iPad made ​​in such a way that the user will feel comfortable when handling or typing. This is evidenced when the user is positioned portrait can still use both thumbs to type on a 7-inch Android tablet, because both thumbs can access all areas of the screen.

Although the 7.9-inch sail the user can still be able to do a lot of the typical iPad multitouch gestures, such as opening screen with 4 fingers multitasking or moved from one application to another simply by sliding it to the right and left.

For materials, the iPad mini itself still retains the impression of luxury, that is still almost the same as the standard iPad. Whether to reduce weight or reduce production costs, we feel like a plastic with glossy coating, making it easy to leave fingerprints both in front and behind the iPad.

As with the iPhone 5, Apple has been using the 8 pin connector or regular alias Lightning, as well as a mini iPad.

Hardware

As the newest iPad mini is already using iOS 6. You just need to upgrade to 6.0.1 via OTA. For the interface itself is almost similar to the previous iOS, because all the features in previous iOS is already in the latest iOS.

If the first iPad screen is made with 9.7-inch size is close to 10 inches, the iPad Mini reduced to 7.9 inches. The ratio remains the same, then all iPad apps can be used directly on the iPad mini. For developers, this is good news. They do not need to update the application as when the iPhone 5 comes.

The bad news for lovers of the retina display, due to changes in the resolution. Also features retina display also does not appear on the iPad mini. Resolution iPad mini is only 768 x 1024 pixels (162 ppi). But even so the resolution is not smaller than the 7-inch Android tablet.

It has been said before, that the size of the iPad is more like a mini notebook or a novel. So take it anywhere to read a digital book is clearly much more comfortable than using the older iPad. Waiting at the bank or the doctor clearly less visible 'show off'.

For this purpose, Apple has prepared iBook application that offers hundreds of digital books and audiobook titles to be downloaded and enjoyed wherever you are.

Others with a camera behind, the front of the iPad mini also comes with a front camera. With a resolution of 1.2 MP camera capable of displaying HD facetime capabilities.
