Steven Combs:
The shipping box has arrived.
Steven Combs:
This new iPad mini will make a fine addition to the other touch screen devices in the home.
Steven Combs:
Time to slice this thing open.
Steven Combs:
Lookie there. There's an iPad mini in this box after all.
Steven Combs:
Oh! There's the shipping label tucked in nicely.
Steven Combs:
Yep, I'm cheap. Purchased the wifi only 16GB model.
Steven Combs:
Love those shipping bumpers.
Steven Combs:
Free from its shipping container and ready to rock.
Steven Combs:
Here's the specs on my model.
Steven Combs:
Time to get rid of the protective cover.
Steven Combs:
Not as glossy without that seran wrap, are ya?
Steven Combs:
That'd be the front of the box.
Steven Combs:
Time to lift the top and see what's inside.
Steven Combs:
And there it is, complete with reflection of my lights.
Steven Combs:
Sneak a peek underneath to find the power adapter.
Steven Combs:
This thing really is thin!!!
Steven Combs:
Another layer of protection around the device.
Steven Combs:
The stuff that comes with it, but is that another compartment?
Steven Combs:
Standard issue power adapter.
Steven Combs:
Let's see what's under this packet, could it be...
Steven Combs:
It is! It's the new Lightening Connector. Man that thing is tiny.
Steven Combs:
The connector to the iPad is smaller than the USB connector. Big difference from the old style 30-pin connector.
Steven Combs:
Let's get to the instructions and paperwork.
Steven Combs:
And there you have it.
Steven Combs:
No instruction booklet, only this single card stock page.
Steven Combs:
Got me some more of those fun tiny Apple stickers. Now, what am I gonna do with them? I know, pop one on my Nexus 7.
Steven Combs:
Unwrapping the cable.
Steven Combs:
Putting all the box stuff, back in the box and...
Steven Combs:
Putting the box with all my other gadget boxes.
Steven Combs:
Let's get that protective cover off.
