[iPad Mini] Single Most Enjoyable Task/Activity

ME Nick · Jan 18, 2013, 05:06 PM

Hi all.
Just wondering what everyone thought as the best thing to do on their mini?
Is there any one task, or specific app that you find really enjoyable?

As a mini owner, I find reading the news via Flipboard the most enjoyable.

I was going to say FlipBoard too! It's such a beautiful app I use it all the time. Other favorite is Netflix. Pulse is good and I've recently become addicted to a game call Lep's World 2.

I enjoy streaming ESPN NCAA basketball/ football games with 3 fingers of Makers Mark 46

Most enjoyable is porn. Then games.

LaurieAnn · Jan 18, 2013, 06:56 PM

Flipboard is good but Zite is better. Google Currents isn't too bad either.

I've recently found Zite and use it more than Flipboard. But my most enjoyable activity is Angry Bird Stars Wars edition!!

MacRumors

Tower Madness. Then Zombie Gunship. Then Email. THEN Macrumors.

Macrumours

Nice, I'll have to look up Zite!

Bear · Jan 20, 2013, 07:56 AM

By time spent? Reading books is probably what I've used the most time on. With either my music or NPR Music usually playing in the background.

BergerFan · Jan 20, 2013, 08:00 AM

Browsing via Safari is by far, the thing I do the most on my iPad.

Badrottie · Jan 21, 2013, 03:57 AM

I enjoyed reading:
cnet
engadet
flipboard
pulse
twitter
facebook
and some games.

jabingla2810 · Jan 21, 2013, 04:26 AM

Snapseed, Reeder and Instapaper

Reading (iBooks and kindle) for me. The major reason why I wanted a 7" tablet was for reading and the mini fullfills that.

I also keep my karate notes in bento where I can easily search or review if need be.

Between preferring iBooks over kindle books (I still buy kindle books but I like ibooks) and using bento on the mac and iPad (syncs seamlessly) The mini is a better choice for me then say a Nexus 7

Interesting... Both of those games come from the same company... http://www.limbic.com/ourgames.html. If you're affiliated with that company, that would make me not want to check out those games...

Then don't. It's your loss.

It's not my loss, it's everyone's loss. I wouldn't like this site to devolve into something built on conflicts of interest.

The term used in the code of conduct is "shilling." I see the code of conduct shows 'shilling' as a bannable offense.

Really? And I'm "shilling" because I like two games from the same developer?

Then you should report me. This behavior is intolerable.

I recently had two games from gameloft on my ipad. AT THE SAME TIME!!!!

You sir are a scholar and a gentleman. And clearly an individual of great intelligence and wisdom.

You must obviously work for them....

Browsing MacRumors !!

It's definitely a toss up between Tweetbot, MacRumors and WatchESPN. The size of the device makes watching sports enjoyable while still being very portable.
