I am Bringing My iPad Mini to the Books in Browsers Conference Later This Week Conferences & Trade shows I'm in San Francisco this week for a little light touristing before I attend the Books in Browsers conference. In anticipation of Apple announcing the new iPad Mini, I brought my dummy unit with me.

Some weeks back I ordered a dummy iPad Mini from China. It apparently has almost the exact dimensions of the real thing, and it has been a lot of fun pranking people with it. If you see me at the conference, ask about my tablet.

Between a ridiculous price and ridiculous screen resolution I don't ever plan to get a real iPad Mini, but the $30 was a different proposition. It's been a lot of fun.

    The dummy has better screen resolution, no?

    That is okay because only a dummy would want to own the real thing!

    Did you measure the dummy against the official Apple dimensions yet? I wonder if it actually matches them. My paper iPad Mini was spot-on (the second one, not the first one I plastered all over posts at my blog… yeesh).
