Hello everyone, so pleased to be here!

[WendyH]

I got my first iPad, a white 32GB Mini on launch day last week, and I love it! My husband has had an iPad since launch day of the original one (he now has an iPad 3), but the full-sized one was too big for me because I have two plates and five screws in my left forearm after a serious break a few years ago. The full-sized iPad is just too heavy for me to hold. So I have made do with an Android tablet up until now, hoping that Apple would eventually bring out a smaller iPad. I have had an iPhone for years, currently the iPhone 5, and much prefer iOS to Android. Apple finally released an iPad in a size perfect for me and I was so excited to be able to get it! I absolutely adore it already!
