The iPad Mini is Apple answer to all the 7 inch android tablets. Except Apple did something clever, they made it 7.9 inches. And provided a beautifully made product at a beautifully high price. Whether its worth the high price is debatable. But if you want one, that’s the price and that is what you have to pay. However, judging by the current sales, the IPad Mini is a runaway success and is sure to feature in many people’s Xmas presents.

It is also impacting the AppStore. It is not unusual, to see a ton of app updates hit the Apple AppStore before Xmas but what is really noticeable over the last few weeks, is the number of apps suddenly go universal and in the what’s new section, mention the iPad Mini. In addition a number of apps have been fine tunes for the iPad Mini.

So, if you have both an iPhone/iPod Touch and an iPad Mini, look carefully at the list of uninversal apps. You will find some new additions like Copilot and Tumblr.
