Last Friday Apple released their new iPad Mini and updated the full-sized iPad to the next generation.
Apple reported that it sold 3 million iPads over the weekend, there is much demand and not enough supply, its said that they could easily supply the demand, thanks to the complexity of certain components that go into the eight-inch tablet.
At the moment only WiFi versions of the iPad Mini and the fourth generation of the iPad are on sale but they should be shipping out the 4G-LITE versions in the next few weeks.
The new iPad mini is one-third smaller, weighs less then a pound, is 8 inches instead of 10 and is 23% lighter than the original.
The new iPad mini is starting at $329, which is more than its competitors The Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD, which start at $199.
As for durability, the iPad Mini out preformed the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD, in a series of drops and dunks.

Do you think it makes more sense to buy the iPad mini or the other ones because it saves money? or pay more for the iPad mini and have it last longer?
