Default iPad Mini 7.9 for my Bat wing

OK now that apple has an iPad mini small enough not to take control of my fairing, I want one instead of the radio and GPS.
I can get the iPad mini wifi/cellular for $459
It can control everything I need on the road. Tunes GPS facebook etc.
Now who is going to be the first to integrate it as a Harmon Kardon replacement?

I'll be the first to buy it!

Its been done with the regular ipad and ipad 2, this mini just came out, should be the easiest of them all due to its small size,'
I too want to integrate one.
I am going to get a tank dash mount on my Road king for my smart phone to use gps and stuff, but is this mini will work I might sneak it into a lower fairing and connect it to my controls.
I wonder if FBI will do one, they have the I fairing now.

i have used my ipad on a couple of road trips and it works fine with the 30 pin ipod connector in my saddlebag. I use a speck case in a neoprene sleeve.
I would be interested to see if a lightning to 30 pin adapter for the new idevice interfaces will work using the harley ipod interface.

The new Ipad minis will probably be using the Iphone 5 new style connector.
