When it comes of the iPad Mini, Apple has taken a path that few thought they would ever see the tech giant take.  After all, it was Steve Jobs who proclaimed load and clear that the 7 inch tablet was DOA (dead on arrival).  But after the explosive introductions to smaller form factor tablets such as the Kindle Fire, the Kindle Fire HD, and the Google Nexus 7, it is clear the 7 inch tablet market is for real AND extremely popular with consumers.

Apple’s Success with the iPad Mini So Far…

** Update 11.8.12

As the “new’ness” of the iPad Mini slowly wanes, the market is starting to get a better feel for just how popular the iPad Mini can actually become.  Early indications are showing that not only is the iPad Mini generating massive sales and revenue for Apple, but it’s being reported that the iPad Mini could quite easily become the new “iPad”.  What this means is, the iPad Mini could become the most popular version of Apple’s iPad on the market, and far surpass sales and popularity of its bigger brother – the original, and larger iPad tablet.  The iPad Mini is being received favorably by users who got in on the iPad Mini early and where able to actually get a pre order for their iPad Mini.  And the users are now touting the iPad Mini as simply the best tablet they’ve ever touched and used, including those who already own an iPad.

So… the question is now can the iPad Mini actually become the new standard at Apple and the best selling gadget besides the iPhone?  Time will tell, but early indications are showing the iPad Mini to be extremely popular among users.

————————————————————–

As expected, Apple saw an explosive response when the pre sales of the iPad Mini kicked off yesterday.  Within hours, the popular white iPad Mini sold out and Apple has already pushed the shipping date of all iPad Mini’s out two weeks.

On top of the heavy sales volume of the iPad Mini, Apple announced that iOS 6 has been installed on an astonishing 200 million devices.  And with the iPad Mini, just like the iPhone 5, shipping with iOS 6 pre installed, that iOS 6 figure is only going to keep climbing.

With the iPad Mini, the biggest question I now have is whether or not the the mini iPad tablet is going to experience iOS 6 wifi problems like what we saw during the first two weeks with of the release of the iOS 6.
