    Somewhat. But the aspect ratios of the iPad and iPhone/iPod Touch are different. So the iPad Mini may have the 3:2 aspect ratio of the iPhone/iPod Touch, 4:3 of the iPad, or maybe something completely different :p It may not be a big difference to some, but it's a difference, nonetheless.

    Apple sees a significant difference here but not with the Galaxy Tab.

    So the normal iPad does look like what? Besides, I don't think with the iPad no one actually needs an iPad mini.

    No. It doesn't feel like it's an iPod touch. An iPod touch doesn't have the same unique-ness of the iPad. It doesn't even feel like an iPod touch, it feels like an iPad.


    I'm all for the iPad Mini, as long as it has a retina display and decent graphics and GPU. :) and I'd also wait for it to mature another generation before I, personally, would buy one.

    I like what that iPad looks like since it's edge to edge, but this iPad Mini thing is just dumb.

    So if the iPod touch had its screen size increased to that of an iPad they wouldn't feel the same?
