    Can anybody with an iPad Mini comment on this? One of my main qualms with the iPad Air is the bezel, in portrait on my current iPad I find myself always gripping it with my hand, using the bezel as a resting place for thumb. Seeing as my thumb is about twice as wide as the new bezel, I don't want the screen to accidentally pinch in when my thumb is rested on the screen/bezel.

    I don't own one but having played with one a fair bit in the store, it didn't notice my hands near the bezel.

    My GF has one and I've never noticed if it was picking up my thumbs. ie. it was never an issue to me.

    The Mini is so small and light that you can easily use it without touching the screen. The Air will be a greater test of how well this feature works.

    In any case, finger-rejection has a been a feature of iOS since v6. All iOS devices have it. So you can test it with your current iPad if you want.
