Even though I am the owner of a Nexus 7 and an iPad 3 I was excited to pre-order the new iPad Mini. I bought the Nexus 7 only because there wasn’t’ any smaller offering that Apple had. I love my iPad but holding it on the train and using it when holding at all for any long period of time is uncomfortable. At work I carry it around everywhere. The Nexus 7 was great for the price but has always been slow and even though I want to give Android a chance it still doesn’t beat out iOS in my opinion. With all those factors in mind I was pleased to order the iPad Mini. I hope to be able to replace most if not all of what I use the full size iPad and the Nexus with the mini.
I opted for the 64gig version since i do use a lot of space. I also wanted the LTE (Verizon) edition since I thought the Nexus 7 and the original iPad that i had with Wifi only was too limiting. Being able to browse or check information away from wifi is worth the cost.
Now the jury is out on if I like it or not.
