[...] The iPad mini I bought yesterday had spontaneously powered itself off several times, and was showing numerous kernel panics and crc errors in its diagnostics log. So this morning I called the local Apple store where I bought it, confirmed they still had 32GB black models like mine available, did a quick iCloud backup of the iPad mini so I wouldn’t have to set it up from scratch again, and arrived at the Apple store just 5 minutes after opening to do the exchange.

I had no interest in the Mini, as I bought the iPad 3 in March. Also the iPad 4 doesn’t bother me either. But I did go into Best Buy today around 10:45 to try to see if I could get a case for my iPod Touch 5, and to my dismay, there’s still nothing available. And I’ve had mine for almost a month now. But I digress. I had to pick up an iPad 4 for my mom to give to my dad for Christmas as she has no sight and needed someone to pick it up for her. I was completely surprised to find one person at the counter paying for his Mini ( or actually 2 Mini’s ) then I was next, and there was no one behind me. I tried to get the iPad 4, 32 gig, black, but they didn’t have black. So I got white. I mean, they go in a case eventually anyway so the colour doesn’t really matter. At least not to me. But the overall experience was great. I was in and out in under 5 minutes ( including the amount of time spent looking for a case for my Touch ).

I did not have a difficult time, I pre-ordered. I took the day off from work and waited for it to be delivered.

Hi Donna – It was a pleasure talking to you this morning. That’s the best thing about waiting round for these Apple devices – meeting lots of cool people in line. Glad to hear your iPad 4 is living up to your expectations, and I can definitely understand the temptation of the iPad mini.

I can tell you that my very early first impression of it can be summed up in two words: wonderfully light.

Enjoyed meeting you in line this morning, Patrick. My 4th gen. iPad is as awesome and beautiful as I had thought it would be. Getting it set up was easy and quick. The first app I added was 1Password for iPad and synced it from our home network. I installed most of my favorite apps organizing them into customized folders. As you know this was my first Apple Line, and it certainly was smaller than I had anticipated, but the experience of walking into the store to the cheering and clapping of the Apple employees is one I truly enjoyed. Apple sure knows how to do it right! I was really tempted by the iPad Mini’s on display even thinking to buy one in addition to my new iPad, but I decided to hold off For now. My husband said he saw long Apple lines on the news this morning, so maybe Barton Creek was an anomaly. Look forward to following your blog.
