After spending a weekend using and experimenting with the iPad mini, members of The MacJury gathered to discuss the size, screen, and camera of Apple’s newest tablet. Is the iPad mini just another tablet, or does it represent the future of the iPad line? Where does it shine, and where does it fall down? Is it a device for consumption or productivity? All of this and much more is examined by the panel of Katie Floyd, John Martellaro, Derrick Story, Julio Ojeda-Zapata and host Chuck Joiner.
