Jobs did tell Cook to run the company in his own way and not to put himself in the position of doing what he thinks Jobs would do.
So I don't think it's violating Jobs legacy by launching an iPad mini as it doesn't blatantly go against his wishes if his wishes are that Cook runs the company in his own way.
I also don't think an iPad mini affects Jobs legacy in any shape or form anyway. Jobs had an opinion at the time, its not part of a legacy not to launch one. And opinion can change over time. Apple has u turned on many things in the past, including not making a larger screen for the iPhone.
To go by your reasoning, we would also have to say that the iPhone 5 is blatantly against Jobs legacy.
The focus on the customer is the biggest element of Jobs legacy in my opinion and if customers want an iPad mini, well that's just following his legacy surely.
And he only passed a year ago, so he would have been aware of both the iPhone 5 and the iPad mini being in development at the time and if he wanted to, he probably could have killed the development programme prior to stepping down.
The iPad mini is still a logical device to launch purely on economic terms. I done see why a company as large as Apple would ignore the smaller tablet market, it just doesn't make sense.
And an iPod touch is not an iPad mini. By that argument the iPad is just a larger iPod touch considering the touch came first. Or the iPhone is an iPod touch with a phone stuck to it.
New product lines are an absolute necessity for any company that wants to survive. Diversification is essential. Otherwise it becomes stale and dies. That is simple basic economic sense.
