We got the 16gb version, and it's so great to carry around places. Weight and size are perfect. The disappointment comes when you compare it to the bigger I-pads. The main drawback is the Ram memory, which causes it to lag when buffering Youtube videos, compared to our Ipad2. I assume this is what's going on, anyway. Also, the resolution is a bit of a letdown if you're used to higher resolution from your phone. Tiny text looks less inviting, and video is not even up to 720p standards, given the screen resolution.
If you want something that's bigger than an iPhone, but still easy to carry around in a purse, this is a great device. In my opinion, though... I'd wait until early next year when they up the specs a bit, or pony-up for the Retina model. The price we paid for what we got with the Mini was just way too high for now.
