Here here. I actually put my iPad Mini back in the mail for return to Amazon yesterday. The resolution was _that_ bad. Granted, my other two primary iDevices are a MacBook Retina and the iPhone 5, so I'm used to a more vivid screen - but wow, I forgot the screen on an iPad 2 looked so poor. As others have stated, the size and weight are just right. Perfect for travel. Did find the WiFi antenna lacking, though.

I'm toting the 7 inch Coby MID7065-8 around right now. It's heavy and bezeled beyond belief, but with an expandable memory slot, HDMI, decent resolution (better than the Mini, IMO, if just by a hair,) and strongish performance -- plus, at $120 it really can't be beat.
