Retina iPad Mini Shipping Times Lengthening at Major U.S. Carriers Amid Supply Constraints
Major U.S. carriers Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile are still experiencing back orders on the cellular version of the iPad Mini with Retina Display, signaling that the 3G/4G version of the tablet is still experiencing heavy supply constraints, reports CNET. While Apple's online store still shows that cellular Retina iPad minis are available to ship in 5-10 business days, Verizon's page for the device shows that the device will ship by December 2, with T-Mobile and AT&T showing 6-8 week and 21-28 day delivery estimates, respectively. 
Small amounts of stock of the cellular-capable models of the device began trickling into Apple's U.S. retail stores one day after the device's surprise launch last week, with Apple offering a Personal Pickup option for online orders. However, overall production of the device has been heavily constrained for the time being due to suggested display production issues, with shipments of the tablet likely to double in Q1 2014 as shortages ease.
First announced at Apple's iPad-centric October event, the second-generation iPad mini features a high resolution 2048x1536 display, with 326 pixels per inch, and a 64-bit A7 chip with the M7 motion co-processor. Those interested in purchasing the device can also check out an unofficial web tracker for checking the availability of Retina iPad mini models at Apple's U.S. retail locations. The tracker continues to show low in-store availability, with Sprint and low-capacity Wi-Fi models seeing the best supplies.

Nobody outside of MacRumors gives two craps about colour gamut.

Apple still seems to have plenty though. So much for constrained supplies "for the rest of the year."

That's what your iPhone/smartphone is for. Not sure why people need iPad to read emails while on the go unless you're looking at charts or graphs constantly.
I love my mini. Couldn't go back to regular iPad now as it seems far too big. The mini is perfect for travel and the screen isn't intrusive to anyone. You can privately watch a movie without taking too much space and it fits perfectly in one hand.

I got my LTE version. Nice piece of equipment. However, I can see how it is not ultimately a replacement for a full-sized iPad. Some stuff just comes up on the screen a bit too small. But it does what I need it to do. I left my briefcase at home this morning and was still able to read emails and documents on my subway ride into work. :D
Not pocketable into inside suit jacket though. Which is a negative over the Nexus 7 form factor. It being winter, it easily fits into winter coats. But still a drawback on this form factor.

So glad I'm poor right now cuz I'd just be blowing my cash on Apple products ;)
This allows me to wait for this whole fiasco to settle and maybe have a few rMini's show up on the refurb store. :D

This year has shown the most dysfunctional supply chain management from a so-called technology giant the world has ever seen. Apple really needs to hire someone like me to clean up their mess; I am supremely qualified and stuff just seems to get done a lot quicker whenever I'm around.

The reason that stops me most from getting an iPad is the file transfer limitations on iOS. I've been using my iPhone for a year now. It's great, and perfect most of the times, except when I need to transfer files across apps (not all apps support "open with") or with my computers (Apple wants me to use iCloud and I tend to dislike when a company forces me to choose a service by disallowing me to decide according to my preferences). The rest of possible transfer options (email, a private network, or iTunes) are either uncomfortable or not fully functional.
I love my iPhone, and my next phone will be an iPhone too. But this difficulty transferring files (even photos!!!) between apps or computers really stops me from getting an iPad
