Hello,
Wow, so many replies in such short time!
Thank you.
I am still undecided.
Today I even had a 16gb Mini with smart cover on my cart, but backed out at the last minute...
Then I went to that store and saw both...
I know that both are good products but both are also compromise products...
The ipad 4 is great in display and power, but it is a compromise on size and weight.
The Ipad mini is great in size and weight, but a compromise in power and screen...
I know both products, and their strenghts and weeknesses... But one thing is to know the spec sheet and play with the product for an hour at a store, and another thing is living with a product on a daily basis...
That is why I am struggling with this decision...
I really enjoyed the ipad 4, but I was holding it in Portrait mode with one hand and the weight started to feel after a short while. But this was with the ipad up in the air with one hand... Would I use it like that often if I owned it?
How would I use it on the couch? Or at a table? Or at a desk?
And the mini?
This are all though decisions...
I currently have the nexus 7 and I use it as a small book most of the time, but that is also because the nexus 7 is small and has that form factor in which I must use it in portrait because of the 16:10 screen... And I use it suspended in the air because I have to hold it close to my face, again because the small screen...
So, all in all, trying to make up my mind and join the IOS family...
Cheers!
