I realize this is the worst first world problem ever, but I'm annoyed beyond right now, haha.
Ok, I had the original iPad, then the iPad 2 and then the iPad Mini. I loved the mini, I swore to everyone who I talked to that I would only ever use the Mini form factor, it's the best lightest single handed device I ever used. Note: at this point I traveled with public transport for 3 hours each day.
So, I wanted to upgrade to the rMini and I did. And it's an awesome device, for sure. The Air was tempting but I convinced myself that I spent the entire of last year saying I loved the Mini size and weight.
Then: I decided to buy my mom a refurbished iPad 4 as a present. It arrived today and I installed all her favorite games and apps. Turns out the screen is such better quality than my rMini. The colors are so much better, reading pdf's and comics on it is amazing. Dare I say it, even better than on the rMini.
So here we are, doubting if I should sacrifice the portability of the rMini for the amazing screen of the Air. I now have a new job where I have to travel by car for 15 minutes, so the portability just isn't such an issue anymore.
I know most people favor the Mini form factor around here, and I do too for a lot of reasons. But argh.. Apple has made it so hard to choose.
