Well the Mini seems overpriced considering the price of the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD. Looks like a fairly pointless addition to the tablet line considering they're placing it in direct competition with Nexus7 & Fire HD but with relatively comparable hardware for a much higher price.

I agree that the price of the iPad mini ($329) is slightly pricey, but all things considering, people tend to pay a premium for a premium product.  After extensively looking at the competitors on the market ie Nexus 7 and Fire HD, it is blatantly obvious that the iPad mini is overall a better product.  It has a better OS, better Processor, extra 5MP camera and is overall a better build (according to analysts).  All in all, I reckon the iPad mini will sell like hotcakes and WILL be the must have tablet this Xmas.

How much money you get from Apple? If the pay is good I might consider it as well. After all you go to websites you normally go anyway and lie as many as you can. 

LOL, I wish I was getting paid by Apple.  Just stating the truth here.  I understand Google has an event later this week and may in fact release a newly specced Nexus 7, but at the moment it just seems that the iPad mini will be huge success.  More importantly down to the basic points that it's well designed and built and has a very user friendly OS that will attract the young and casual users moreso that Google and Kindle Fire.  The iPad mini will attract those who cannot afford the iPad (now entitled iPad with Retina Display), and of course there will be those who cannot afford the mini and will opt for the Fire or Nexus.
