Whilst I love my iPad 4, I think the mini is so much more compact and more friendly in use to carry around in my handbag. Im curious as to who has swapped their Ipad for a mini?

So I'm keeping my iPad 3. Ive had it since march. You will have to make the choice for yourself. If you just got the iPad 4 and aren't in love with that retina screen and more powerful processor (more powerful by a lot) then do the swap and be happy. You know what you like and want....I would not blame you for it!
By the way one of my lady friends told me she never had any interest in an iPad until she saw the mini, so you are NOT alone in your view.

dlagrave said:I tried the mini, then traded it in for the iPad 4. The size was nice in terms of weight and handling it. But the size of the screen limits the view of web pages and email messages. I thought I could get used to it, after all it does not bother me on my iPhone... But it kept bugging me. I guess what I can accept on a phone, I cannot accept on a device that is supposed to be for reading email and surfing the web (at least, those are my main uses).
But the size is lovely, and you might really enjoy it. I will say that Apple was lovely to deal with in terms of returning the mini. I did not have the box or anything as I returned it while traveling to another city, and they were wonderful about it. So maybe you should try it out.
I love my iPad4, but after using the Mini for a few days, the iPad 4 is gaining DUST.. the Mini is awesome and SO MUCH MORE SMALL and PORTABLE.. I will give my iPad 4 to my wife and she will sell her iPad 2.. so with that said.. after using the Mini for a few days and then picking up the iPad 4, the 4 feels like a BRICK.. just my two cents..Whilst I love my iPad 4, I think the mini is so much more compact and more friendly in use to carry around in my handbag.

No way for me.....
Way to small of screen to do anything real serious. I will never part with my iPad 4 for a smaller screen.
I need a stylus on my iPad 4 to do a lot of things so the iPad mini is out of the question.
You guys make the iPad 4 (9.7") sound like its a 55" wide screen!
It's only 1.8" diagonal difference...
...I'm lucky that I get to own both.
That you are for sure.....
Like you, I can see it as an addition but not a replacement......but, I just can't justify the price for the limited use I would have.
I absolutely love my iPad 4 for the purposes I use it for.
Obviously sales numbers show the Mini is very popular.....but it's just not for me.
Sure is nice to have the luxury of various choices to meet each persons needs. :thumbs:
