Thanks all for the kind words.

Jim – the stand is the Just Mobile Encore stand, my favorite iPad stand for a long while now. Here’s my review of it from last year:

Well written. Thanks! I virtually always use my iPad in landscape mode. That’s what I would prefer on any tablet. That said, you mention the 35% larger display area on the iPad Mini, (most other reviews do too) but that’s in portrait mode. If you compare viewing area in landscape mode the iPad Mini is a full 67% larger than the 7″ tablets.

Nice review. I got to use one at Best Buy for a few minutes and was quite impressed. I could see myself getting one to use while being mobile and just using my ipad 3 at home. The weight difference was unreal.
