But I still think the iPad is rather impractical to tote around and pull out and use anywhere.
thats what your phone is for
who wants to carry around 2 devices that do basically the same thing?
do you carry around a digital camera too?

Ipad air is an upgrade for Ipad 1/2/3/4 people I dont know why there's so many posts from people with ipad mini who were maybe 'tempted' by the thinness of the ipad now yet still know 9.7 is too large for there needs to start a thread saying they can't wait for ipad mini retina.
This forum is FULL of these posts.![]()
Man, do I ever hear you. I even bought an Air on launch day only to return it the following Monday thinking maybe the rMini would be better in my small hands & purse. Did more reading on the forum, blogs, etc. Became even more confused. I've never owned an iPad. I've waited years to own one. These things aren't cheap and I want to get it right since I'll keep mine a couple years.No kidding, lol. Apple has been making us crazy trying to choose. I've changed my mind a few times considering the slight pros and cons, and reading the forums have only contributed to the indecision.
i find it a very bad habit of this decade maybe, have ipad4(product x) and people asking (or doing) if they must 'upgrade' to the next years model.
i do believe that a lot of people that write such stuff on the net (not talking about you) are either paid by the companies or spoiled rats.
(samsung paying people in taiwan to write bad comments on other products)
if you traveled thousand of miles with your car and you plan to travel a lot in the next 10-20 years you must consider changing car often, other than that
wait your ipad gets slow at a point that you must change it (or it doesnt work anymore)

Had iPad 1,2,3 and then switched to mini and loved it even without the retina vs. the iPad 3 just because of the size. sold it about 2 weeks ago and got the Air to try but definitely returning and waiting for the mini 2 which would be perfect. Maybe tonight at midnight??!??!?!?!?![]()
Just basic psychology - the mini users are annoyed that the Air is out now and they have to wait. Being the impulsive, gotta-have-the-newest-stuff-right-now people that they are, they are trying to convince themselves that waiting is okay by comparing their plight with others. In theory, if enough people reply in agreement with them, it will make the waiting easier/more justified.
However, this behavior manifests itself in a veiled attempt to belittle those who are buying or have already bought the Air. By doing this, they can convince themselves that the Air is a waste of money anyways, so OF COURSE they are going to wait for the mini.
I would say in 75% of these cases, the subject purchases the Air anyways and then returns to the forums to find reasons why not waiting was the right decision.
lmao!Who made this poll? Patiently waiting my ass... I countin' seconds here.
I did the same thing. Picked up the Air last Friday, but I'll be returning it, probably this weekend. I still have my mini to tie me over until rMini is out.
Waiting for 12-13 inch ipad retina in June-2014 with A8 processor and 2gb ram.
Quite frankly, I don't see why the mini is regarded as soooooooo much more portable than the Air? It's a two inch smaller screen and slightly lighter. That's all. Won't fit into a pocket, won't fit into a jacket pocket and fits into a purse roughly the same as the Air.
IMO, losing two inches of screen is not worth this perceived extra portability.
But, to each their own.
