| Loving My iPad Mini!! I bought the iPad Mini this Past Thursday night and am LOVING it!! I had started at the beginning of the year with a NOOK and told myself that if I used it a lot that I would upgrade to an iPad Although I really love the size of the NOOK and the Kindle. When Steve Jobs was alive he said that Apple would not make a Mini Soo In mid July I bought the iPad 3... It was great and I used it all the time but it really was kind of big and heavy. I was soooooo Happy When they decided to make the mini. The Minis sold out pretty quickly but I learned that Apple gets random shipments every day. What you have to do is go onto their website from 10 PM to 4 AM and see if your store has received any stock that day. They go really fast so you have to get on there about 10:05 PM. You can order one and then they will send you email the next day when it's available for pick up. They have the same process for the iPhone 5 right now. So I went Friday at lunch to pick up my new iPad Mini And have been on it off and on since. It is sooooo light and takes up barely any room in my tote and purse. There are several places that I will give you money for old phones and iPads. Apple, Best Buy and Amazon are just a few. I listed my old iPad on eBay and it sold immediately for more than any of those places would give me. There are several Poetic brand cases on Amazon right now that are selling for $3.95 $4.95 and $6.95 for a limited time... |

| I've wondered about the screen size. Can you tell much of a difference between the iPad and the mini? That is my biggest concern.

| Congrats! But I must admit I am sooo jealous! LOL. I have the first iPad and the 3rd. Had the iPhone 4S, just upgraded to the 5. Hubby says I don't need the mini too, boo hoo! But, I want it! Heheee. He spoils me though, I also have the Nook Color and a Kindle. Love my gadgets! Enjoy! |

| Me too but I can't justify over $300 for yet another gadget when really, the Ipad3 is not that inconvenient to carry around with me. It fits just fine in any of my larger bags and I prefer the bigger size for most uses ~ I have old eyes

my iPad 3 in it.... I'm thinking I need to buy the smaller size now!!!! LOL The size and mostly Weight of it is such a huge difference to me. I bought a Felt folder made just for it from Radtech so it doesn't add any extra to it. It's pretty feather light and its so thin... It is thinner than a pencil. I am holding it up in one hand typing on it now!! The screen isn't that much different... I think if you had a 3 or 4 you may be able to tell a little bit of a difference but if not then you wouldn't. Last edited by RileyDC; 11-13-2012 at 08:27 PM. | |
