iPad mini Got my kid an iPad Mini 32GB :-)

I'm just now beginning to set it up & my 6yr old doesn't know yet I already got him his promised ipad mini. As he is expected from him, it is color white.

He will be so happy b/c he is expecting it two weeks from now (yes he already knows what weeks are now I'm at a nearby Starbucks doing the set up.

I'm so happy he'll be so happy.

Well all the games will be from a restore of his previous iPod touch 32GB. The icloud restore has taken so long. I can't restore from iTunes because I don't have a computer. I'll put a list of the games when I'm done.

When I was his age I got a toy. Computers were big in size (and costs) and facetime was not yet on startrek.

Funny how things change.

Awesome! If your son is kind of a musical guy (like me), you should download Kanon Drum and Virtuoso.

On my way to Office Depot to get a case, but I had already ordered one on Amazon. Can't let him have it w/o a case.

6 years old? I'd be worried if he didn't.

lol.

Yes Jessica I found a cheap case for $15 on Amazon. It is not an otter, but it seems to offer good protection. In the meantime I got another case at Radio Shack b/c they didn't have any at Office Depot. I paid like $33 for it but I can always return it when the other one comes.

And by the way, thank you for sticking out for me, he is an excellent student, teacher's helper and very advanced in his class for his age (not b/c he is my son), but in my view he deserves an ipad mini and much more.

No otter. But in the future might look for one online.

Tell me about it, when he went to sleep I was playing with his ipad mini and I said what a difference. I paid two bills on it and it felt like a notebook to me, able to see the full content of web pages.

Nice. The iPad mini is perfect for children I think. My son has an iPad as well, but I never get him one new flat out. It is always a hand-down. I handed him down the ipad 1, and now he has a 2. He will get my mini in a few years probably as well.

That is a good way to teach them to care for things. My son had a refurbished iPod touch and be has proven very responsible with it. He learned to lay it face down every time he was not using it, and also not to scratch the screen with any sharp object, so he was ready for the ipad mini upgrade.

I agree, the ipad mini should be perfect for children
