On a slight tangent: the iPad Mini is the best consumer electronics product I have used in a long time. I had a Surface RT before it, and while it was a neat device, the Mini has genuinely integrated itself into my workflow:

1) The size and weight are such that I can grab it along with my half-size notebook and the styling (I have a black one) is conservative and I don't feel weird pulling it out in a meeting. The Surface RT is too big to use say while waiting in line.

2) LTE is a game-changer. Microsoft is dead-wrong that you don't need to offer a tablet with LTE. It really maximizes the utility of the device. Yeah, I could carry around an LTE hotspot, but the battery life on those is ass, and I would feel stupid pulling that out at a meeting. Meanwhile, with LTE + Exchange e-mail, I don't feel so tethered to my blackberry. And tethering to my laptop over bluetooth is dead-easy.

3) The battery life is phenomenal. My current usage reading shows 12 hours usage and 7 days standby with 10% left. And I never turn off LTE/Wi-Fi/push e-mail.

4) Portrait 4:3 is the way to go for a work tablet. The RT's screen is a lot bigger, but the 16:9 ratio is useless for what is ostensibly a "work" device. Reading a document in portrait mode, the usable width of the Mini's screen is only 0.5" smaller than the RT's.

In many ways it's a shitty device. Old processor, little memory, overly glossy, low-resolution screen. But Apple just nailed the key features needed in the form factor: always-on connectivity, battery life, and size/weight/conservative styling.
