My nexus 7 is too big for my purse. No way would my iPad3 fit in there.

I wouldnt change my ipad 3 for a mini. The lack of retina display is very noticable and im sure the ipad mini 2 will have that as apple are money grabbers. I dont really take my ipad out, only on holiday and things like that. I use my note 2 as my phone and mini tablet everywhere else.

All respect due to Steve Jobs, but he didn't make buying decisions for me even when he was alive.

Yes!

I'm extremely happy with my iPad 3 but I may go for a refurbed mini when they become available.

The Mini is a tad bigger than the Nexus 7 so a Mini wouldn't fit either. I do agree that a thinner regular iPad would be nice.

Of course he did. He designed the ipad and you bought it. He "made" you want the ipad.

No, he helped create a product; I made the decision to buy it because it met my criteria. I'd wanted a tablet long before Apple introduced any iPad.

You're not in a position to tell me or anyone else why they bought anything. You're clearly not able to read minds, lol.

Every buyer has criteria -- that's what determines any product's success or failure in the marketplace.

Steve Jobs was brilliant and arrogant, but even he didn't decide what people would buy. The best he could do -- and he did it better than most -- was make products that appeal to consumers' criteria. If he could make people buy products, he wouldn't let them buy Android devices, for instance, lol.

What I'm talking about is consumer choice -- we all exercise it. If Steve Jobs were alive, he'd continue to have successes and failures. And he'd continue to change his mind, as market conditions shifted. That's why he told his colleagues at Apple to make decisions as they judged best after he died -- he didn't want them to try to read his mind.
