iPad mini boasts Apple's latest version of their mobile operating system, the iOS6. Apple claims this iOS 6 to be the most advanced mobile operating system in the world!After the Apple iPad mini launch event, the reviews and feedback about this latest tablet from Apple have been pretty much mixed. One of the major complain regarding this latest mini iPad tablet by Apple has been the price at which this device has been placed at. This, though a 7 inch tablet which appear to be a direct competitor to the Googles' Nexus 7 and the spanned off Android version of Kindle Fire series of Tablets by Amazon, the price definitely not in the same league.
On the other hand, there have also been quite a few number of complains regarding the display resolution of the Apple's iPad mini. Many of them are comparing the display resolution of this iPad mini tablet to that of rival Google's Nexus 7 and the end result seems to be way off in terms of quality picture resolutions.
All in all, Apple's iPad mini stands out today in the market, waiting to be grabbed by its own loyal customers who have till now been deprived of a 7 inch version of the tablet that every other major mobile OS (viz Android/Windows 8) are coming with. So Apple's iPad should keep the loyal Apple costumer base busy for few months to come.
