Tab Times: iPad mini is a smaller iPad with big benefits for business users
After years of speculation, Apple launches the iPad’s little brother. Does the new iPad mini have a place in business? (Rating: 4 out of 5)Rumors of the iPad mini have been swirling for only slightly less time than the iPad itself has existed. Everyone else was doing it, why not Apple? Seven-inch Android tabs have flooded the market, and industry pundits have criticized Apple for ignoring this segment.
