They couldn’t make the profit off each unit without the price being ridiculously high. Its stupidly high now, because they make 90 percent markup on each unit. Imagine the price if it came with a retina display. 500 dollars.Doesn’t matter anyway, they are not selling well anyway

For the last year and half…they have lambasted every other mobile device as unusable because of the lack of a Retina display. Countless reviews proffering that the display is of first and foremost important part of mobile devices. They are in your face 24/7 and integral to your ability to enjoy the experience. Along comes the iPad Mini with a turd of a display by current mobile display standards. Displaying obvious pixelization. Rendering letterboxed video (most TV and Movies) at a resolution of 1024×576…just barely SD. A 62% color matrix resulting in poor color reproduction. And a screen with a high reflective index. And should we be surprised to see reviews that say the display is not “horrible” and better than iPad’s 1 and 2. Apple FUD at its best (worse?)

And how about a less than great processor and ram.

Because of the camera and size, the mini is the ideal form factor for telecare.

My problem is trying to touch the correct place on the screen since the area to touch is smaller than the ipad because of the size of the screen.

Until app writers do something about it, it could be frustrating to use for people with big fingers.
