So You Want An iPad Mini?



So do I!

I think I have my dear Apple loving husband convinced that I need one since my children have claimed my first generation iPad as their own.

Here's what I use my iPad for....when I can get my hands on it.

Email
Facebook
Twitter
Angry Birds
Reading books
Updating books I'm reading on Good Reads
Checking the weather

All of these things are great activities for the iPad Mini.  I don't watch movies or TV on the iPad so the small screen size will be perfect for me.

In the keynote, they mentioned that the iPad Mini is as thin as a pencil and it's 53% lighter.  It has a 5 megapixel isight camera and you can face time with it.  FUN!

Now....iKeith did tell me that it does NOT have retina display like the other iPads so it won't be a clear as they are.  I'm fine with that.

Here's the price.

16GB $329
32 GB $429
64GB  $529

I'm also very fine with this lovely case that I found on Etsy by Iris and Lily.

  4. Ok- so I want one too- and hubby asked if that is what I want for Christmas- but tell me this- is it any different than having an iphone- our iphone 5's are on their way to us in two weeks (on back order) and I have never had a smart phone- but I told my husband that I think the iphone will have everything that the ipad mini has? yes/no? I also have the imac which I am on all day, so not sure the mini would really add that much extra- what do you think?

  7. I don't know if I would like the smaller size, although it would fit in most of my purses!

    I love my iPad!

  9. Hmmm...I'm not sold. Kind of sounds like everything I already do on my iPhone. But I'm also kind of anti-gadgets, so I'm probably the only one who feels that way about it.
