It’s big day for gadget lovers, Friday.

The Apple iPad mini is up for sale, but there were smaller than usual lineups when stores opened in Asia and Australia.

Critics said the new product is too expensive — at $329 (Cdn.) — when compared to tablets from rivals like Google and Amazon.

Apple predicted it will sell more than one-million iPad minis this weekend.

The company’s fourth-generation iPad, which has a faster processor and better WiFi, is also out Friday.
