Apple’s clearly been the leader in the full-sized tablet market, dominating the landscape with its iPad. Now, in a bid to cash-in on the growing bite-sized tablet market, it launched the iPad Mini yesterday.
While it may be too soon to tell how the premium-priced device will do against its more established (at least in the mini domain) competitors, an analysis of the specs does show that Apple may be lacking in some of the features, such as display and nearfield communications (NFC).
