    I like that it will be 1024x768 which means no changes needed for GS. I have an iPad 2 and apparently it is the same chip so I'm hoping for testing that if it works on iPad2 it will work on the mini, but I bet there will be some performance differences.

    Personally, I hate it and it looks ugly

    Awesome @1024x768. I think 329 is a bit high, but it is apple. They could have priced this thing to be the hottest item for Christmas.

    More markets, more money i hope!

    @Crestwood I agree with both points. Love that its the same resolution as the iPad 1 and 2! They could have really taken the market with a little more competitive pricing, I wonder how that price will hold up.

    I agree that the price is too high. Only $70 cheaper than iPad 2! :-O

    1024x768 is retina or non retina size? Still have confusion for that
  • BobDBobD Member, PRO Posts: 374
    Yes I think $299 would make it a better story. $299 IPad Mini, $399 iPad 2
    and $499 iPad 4.

    Glad to see our apps will work without any changes on our part (or from GS). Wish they would have priced it a $299, but I'm sure it will still be a big seller this Christmas, which will hopefully result in more revenue for us!

    @creativeapps non retina, @BobD who cares about 30$ on a 300$ product

    Lol. I just bought an IPad 3 on Sunday. Hopefully Target will take it back. The pricing on the iPad 4 makes no sense. They should have put a premium on it, like $50 extra. But now anyone who bought one in the last 30 days will just return it. Plus, there is a ton of IPad 3 stock but due to the pricing of iPad 4 they will have to reduce the price of the IPad 3 just 7 months after it came out. There are going to be a lot of upset people.

    Good news on resolution :)

    I think it looks pretty sweet. I second the fact that the price seems a bit high but it is Apple and I am sure it will sell by the truckloads regardless.

    Still not sure if I'm getting one though....

    lucky the res is same but the price is bullshit. pay $50-70 more and i have a surface rt

    cant wait, ill be getting this for sure.
    So happy we don't have to redo the art for our games.

    Excited!

    yea, it's a huge win for us that everything should run exactly the same as on an iPad 2. I'm thinking of picking one up for testing purposes, but I'm thinking a MS Surface might be a better investment since it's a new market.

    mini is non-retina so it's gonna be like iPad 1st and 2nd gen? Does look a bit like android tablet :P
  • lycettebroslycettebros Member, PRO Posts: 1,598
    Thank you for making the resolution the same!
    Now all we need is GS to come to the party on Universal builds!
