iPad Mini Potential

Can't wait to see if we can mount the iPad mini in our cubbies. It looks like it is the perfect size. It would make for an amazing entertainment hub.

Default iPad Mini Potential

Can't wait to see if we can mount the iPad mini in our cubbies. It looks like it is the perfect size. It would make for an amazing entertainment hub.
I've been wanting to mount the iPad for quite sometime, but it's simply too big. I know others have mounted other various tablets, but I'm an Apple fanboy and LOVE iOS.
Navigation & music would look and work great on that size screen. Much easier to navigate while driving due to the larger, more legible display.

What do you guys think?

IMO, it's going to be a tad bit too large width-wise after looking at the bezel (which isn't small). I haven't seen measurement specs yet, though, so I may be off.

I think I'd rather install the Nexus 7. Even the Wifi version without a connection, you could still use the Maps/Nav to get around.

Every freaking Apple product ... they release the crappy version and then 6 months later, add features that it should have already had ... and call it Gen 2.0

Why the disappointment? It's great...my opinion. Have you tried the panoramic view for taking pictures...that is mind-blowing!

Size-wise though it should be perfect

I agree I love the iPhone 5. iPad mini was a disappointment though.

I love the iPad mini, it seems like a great buy for $329. But, at just under 8" I'm not sure it will fit in the cubby.

How is advancing technology screwing people? The iPad 3 is still just as good as it was yesterday. Just because there is a newer, faster version, doesn't mean the old one is obsolete. I hate this mentality.
Technology will continue to advance at a rapid pace so you'd think people would get used to it by now.

While the mini's screen is not the "retina" it's still a damn good display. The iPad 2's was great, and this has the same resolution but in a smaller package, thus higher pixels per inch which = sexier looking.

The iPhone 5 is in no way a let down. Fast as hell. Sexy looking and built. GREAT operating system. Better battery life... I'm happy

**The real issue now is that there are just too many cool products, which ones do you buy and carry around?

^Agreed.

In no way shape or form did apple "screw" anyone by releasing the 4.

The iPhone 5 is the best phone on the market according to Gizmodo review of

Someone measure the cubby to see if 7.9" fits

sure they did.... maybe u don't feel screwed but its just apple holding onto stuff they already HAVE just to charge u again in 6 month's 1 year later... for fanboys to buy. FYI I had original iphone, 3g, 3g, 4, etc now 5 and ipad 1 and 3... so i'm not an apple hater. I just don't like where they are doing with this and their biz strategy of holding on stuff they SHOULD release....... but instead release partial and make more money next time.......when competing products already HAVE them now!
I now rather stick a samsung galaxy or note in the cubby hole!
