Got a chance again to have a hand-on experience with a new gadget, this time with an Apple iPad Mini. It is like an iPad 2 squeezed into 7.9 inch screen but with better camera and also sleeker and lighter. iPad Mini is also cheaper, price starts at P15,990 at the Apple Store.
The first time I laid hold of this iPad Mini, I was so much surprised with its lightness and thinness. It's so sleek. I suddenly felt that my iPad 2 is that very heavy. *Haha!
Aside from being lighter than the iPad 2, there's also a difference in the volume buttons. On iPad Mini, the Up Volume and Down Volume buttons are separated.

I also liked the lightning connector and the mini charger of iPad Mini, which really matches its lighter and thinner form factor.
Over-all, what I liked the most about iPad Mini is its lightness. But still, I will not be switching to it and ditch my iPad 2 any time soon. Maybe if there will be a iPad Mini with retina display, I'll start to consider. *Haha!
