Based on what? To be honest, your opinions aren't actually based on anything factual yet you keep making these concrete statements about what people would buy and what people wouldn't buy.
Huh? Now youre just avoiding the question. And that's funny here because I was addressing YOUR own original statement "business are basically out, since they rather just go itouch/iphone or iPad, but now in your response you completely omit the larger iPad in order to make a point that only favors your limited opinion of the future.
Your thinking just seems reactionary but not well thought out. You're claiming people will choose an iPad over a "labtop" because laptops are too heavy and expensive. Yet you dismiss the argument that people will gravitate towards the 7.85" iPad then you claim price and weight are irrelevant? Again, until we actually use the thing then we can't assume about what it can and can't do because iOS has yet to be seen on anything but the current size.
If you dont want to be open minded about a product you have yet to try then that's fine. But don't create a thread as a question when you have no intention of entertaining a discussion.
first of all when have i said the price was irrelevant?
based on what? based on the fact that i work with companies in retail and manufacturing that WANT AN IPAD.
based on what these MANAGERS and what the ADVERTISING team TELLS ME, from multiple multiple companies
thats how I KNOW. lmao u have absolutely no idea what your talking about. an open mind? did u not read all the things i have pointed out?
again, people would choose an iPad over a labtop for businessmen that arnt in the tech/software business or students that only use it for taking notes.
do you even read what i say? how are you going to consistently write notes in a 7" tablet? its going to be tedious.
ironically, my good sir, are the one closed minded, i took in count almost every perspective.
what sells, what doesnt, what people like, what the average person likes.
the average consumer isn't part of the apple fandom like most of us here, its just if they have enough money, and the choose to get a mp3 player or tablet (forget the phone because everyone needs the phone lets talk about stuff that isnt a necessity) they'll get an apple product.
if its going to be 300 dollars or up, people are going to look at it, and most are not going to see the value of it, especially if its a dumbed down version for what only 100-150 dollars less? if your going to spend that much on a tablet, might as well spend a little more get a much better product.
entertaining a discussion?
My thread, if you read the title is a question, a question asking people on here to tell me the hard points of why an iPad-Mini is going to be successful, all you happened to say is "people like it for personal preference", while as I mentioned the selling points, the price and if its worth the value, and the fact that it wouldn't really have a fit in the business world with the itouches/iphones and the ipads in the lineup.
please be real, this is a business, if it doesnt sell to satisfaction, than it is a blunder, you dont make products like that to make minimal sells, lmao if you invest on a product which ur going to manufacture thousands upon thousands you want to sell alot, if it doesnt meet its goal in terms of sale, it can basically be a failed project.
all you managed to say was "blah blah blah people have personal preference like me, i want it so other people are going to want it" i see you have no sense of business at all.

What does your THREAD have anything to do with business sales of the iPad?
It doesn't, I responded to your OP, which questioned the point of the iPad Mini.
Yes there is a point to the iPad Mini.
/Thread.
...... how are you going to say business has nothing to do with it.
you do know business sales, count as sales too right? and companies/corporations will get anywhere from 5-100 devices, much more than what a family house hold would ever buy.
so yes of course its going to effect the sales of n iPad, and why does that matter? because apple is a business its self and the whole
POINT of making these products is to sell and make money.
yes so business does come into consideration, every business out there from multiple industries want their business to be automized. they show off to their competitors and customers and it draws attention, not even that it saves
TIME AND MONEY
like above all, you mentioned to say is "people want the mini" "what does business have to do with it"
im sorry but if u dont see the business value, than your are term that i wouldnt be allowed to say on here.
lmao thats like saying computers have no place in work 20-30 years ago.
