The iPad mini is a compact version of the iPad tablet computers. It is 7.87 inches long and weighs 0.68 lbs. It contains most of the standard features of other iPads such as an LED display, responsive touch screen, versatile camera system, Wi-Fi capability and many other features. The most interesting newest addition is Siri, the intelligent assistant made famous by iPhones. The connector for this iPad is another difference. It is reversible, smaller, and more durable.

Like other iPads be prepared to pay more for larger memory space and cellular features.
