got my hands on one yesterday.  not bad overall but for the price of the wireless version I'll stick with my regular pad.  they missed the mark on pricing this thing imo.

i think reason the wireless doesnt have gps is because there would be no way for a satellite to track it since it is only wifi.

and i think ill stick with my ipad 2!

but you don't have retina.   

I put both non and retina together and can't tell the difference....ok just barely but it 's not this earth shattering shit everyone is drooling over IMO.  Only reason I have my Ipad 3, no obsolete (dickheads), is because of 4g.

No doubt. The mini is essentially a smaller iPad 2 with Siri and slightly better cameras. The downside is that with the new lightning connector, you'll need all new cables ($19) and docks, or an adapter ($29-$39) for each.Because the new cables are chipped there likely won't be any inexpensive alternatives.

I didn't put them together but I also didn't see any problem with the I pad 2 display. I just wish they would have sold it to me in 32 Gig size instead of just 16.

My solution to that is to not put a bunch of stuff on it. I can live without GPS. I could always get another handheld GPS unit to do GPS stuff with.

Have you ever bought anything from them?  Just wondering about the quality?  Just got an iPhone 5 and I need a converter for my docking speakers.

nope. a half-dozen ipods, a first and third generation ipad, and two iphones.

i've always had enough dock-connector cables (and a 2nd gen ipod dock) that i haven't needed to buy more.

i did, however, break down the other day and buy two (official apple) usb-to-lightning cables.

Don't worry. Per their site, "We no not debit or capture your payment until we ship out your order"   

They're probably fine, but may take a while to ship. Count on the Chinese to hack/crack pretty much any tech out there.

more like count on the Chinese to steal the technology right from the factories in their backyard.
