With a smaller, lighter iPad meant for one hand, Apple is going straight for the Kindle's jugular. With a 7.9-inch display and a sure-to-be-dropped-in-the-toilet .68 pounds (Apple claims that it weighs as much as a pad of paper), the iPad Mini promises to be "more than a smaller iPad," with the same access to apps and downloaded content. It also offers the same resolution as the iPad 2 and a whopping 10 hours of battery life, for all your Facebooking and Internetting needs — in 29.6 square inches of full-color, Apple-quality display. This is, as Phil Schiller stated again and again, "Every inch an iPad."
