According to Topeka analyst Brian White, Apple is putting quite a lot of effort into the design of the iPad Mini, potentially outdoing its achievements in the new iPad. Now, there's a reason to believe White, as he's been traveling around Taipei, talking to various component makers, trying to squeeze every single bit of information possible. Well, he hasn't been able to collect much info, but there are still some interesting details that make the iPad Mini sound like a very promising device:
Apple did not skimp on the aesthetics of the much anticipated iPad Mini. In fact, we believe the ‘iPad Mini’ could outshine the new iPad in terms of how the device feels in a consumer’s hands. - Tokepa analyst Brian White
According to AllThingsD, White's sources have a decent track record, so this might as well turn out true. There's one other bit, though - it seems like the new, probably even more "magical" iPad will be quite difficult to produce, which may translate into some very limited stock during the first weeks, maybe even months of the device.
