Copping the Mini next week. 16GB. Probably an apple tv along with it. I am personally not worried about the resolution. I use my friend's ipad 2 and it doesn't bother me at all

if you already got a torrent app for your Mac/PC, check out this dude's iTunes-ready movie rips; most are available in 720p (smaller file size, look GREAT on iPad mini) or 1080p

i use it to stream movies like i would on my computer. think of "let me watch this now" but with many more links. you can also put custom backgrounds and stuff like that. but i pretty much have netflix plus navix (google it) plus icefilms and i can watch any movie out there, even new ones that just came out. i just saw django on it last night dvd rip

I thought about exchanging my iPad 4 for a Mini, but my wife quickly 86'd that idea.

There isn't a jailbreak out for iOS 6.0 so no one would have a jail broken mini.

I was considering the iPad mini but I could not get around the fact that they simply stuffed an outdated version of the iPad into a smaller package and touted it as something "brand new". Why couldn't it have the same specs as the iPad 4? Those greedy capitalists.....

have you even used one?
iPad Mini has a higher pixel density than iPad 2 (163 PPI vs 132 PPI). Unlike the iPad 2, it has 5 MP and 1.2 MP cameras and the Lightning connector. The audio processor in iPad Mini is the same found in iPhone 5 and iPad 4th generation, which allows the iPad Mini to have Siri and voice dictation unlike the iPad 2. The iPad Mini has a revised version of the PowerVR SGX543 series, with dual core graphics.
it's NOT outdated, has better internal parts than the iPad 2 did, Siri, a Lightning port for faster syncs, & revised audio/video processors on the level of the iPhone 5

Alright glad I found this thread...
Anyway, the wifey wants an iPad mini really bad... so i'm trying to surprise her! But sell me this product NT. Why should I buy this tablet over the others? (Nexus, Nook, Kindle... ect)
Also, what's a good price for the 16, 32 and 64?

You're buying her a gift that she wants. Why does NT need to sell you on it?

no retina...
not worth the money, why release a product with an old screen while everything else has retina.
If it was $200... sure but for $350 after taxes and it doesnt even have a retina?

Chances are your girl doesnt know tech like that, so she isnt familiar with other options. While there may be "better" options, she might not necessarily maximize those better tablets cause she might just use it for the basics or sake of having an tablet all together. Do her a favor and just get it for her. You know she'll love it, its user friendly and looks nice. Like I said, might be better options but IMO the iPad looks the best and does the simple things well, im sure thats all she wants it for.
