Thank you, Kay, for the response. Hey, if you want the toys and it doesn't cause a hardship I say go for it.
I have an iPad 3, and an iPhone 4S. I just preordered a 5. I use the iPad all the time. I've replaced my netbook with the iPad entirely.
I also have a Kindle Keyboard and a first gen Fire. I use the KK every night to read on before going to sleep. I prefer reading novels on the KK. I bought the Fire when the refurbs were $139 for my son. He wasn't into it, so he gave it to my daughter. She didn't want it, either (are these my kids?) so I got it. I don't use it much but there is an app that isn't available on the iPad that allows me to download episodes of various tv shows. I've been working through the last couple of seasons of True Blood.
Getting back to the original question, I want the mini because I like the 7" size. It seems redundant, though, so I probably won't get it. <sigh>
Kay, my son isn't a reader and has some elaborate gaming system he's been building. If he needs something portable he has an iPhone. My daughter is a reader but she prefers a regular kindle. She also has a laptop she's comfortable on.
Well, I have to agree with Steve Jobs on this! "7-inch tablets are going to be DOA"
They are: too small to be used as tablets & too big to be used as phones! My Ipad 3 and Iphone has no match till date!
