The biggest surprise was how indifferent the Mini is.. $429 for the 32GB model versus $249 for the soon-to-be-announced 32GB Nexus 7, and with inferior hardware (much lower resolution screen, half the RAM, slower processor, etc). I hope for Apple's sake that this isn't a sign of things to come now that Cook is in charge.
I was never a fan of Jobs, but I have to hand it to him that he always upped the ante with new product releases. With the Mini, Apple bring an inferior product late to the party.

The problem is that the Nexus 7 doesn't seem to have any "killer app" that really show cases that extra umph in the power dept that wouldn't be possible on an iPad.
