[...] Saturday I managed to acquire my new iPad mini LTE model. . I know this one is the one I’ll be keeping – and I wanted to get a bit of screen protection [...]

I use it for nearly everything I use the iPad 3 for – reading, keeping up with news, email, web browsing, testing apps and writing up notes on them, doing some site admin and so on.

Thanks Libby. Yup, WiFi is pretty easy to find these days – but the mini is just so lovely and portable that I really want to make sure it has always-on connectivity.

Cool. I’ve still got my 64GB iPad 3, which is a big part of why I’m happy going with 32GB on the iPad mini.

How is the speed and screen? Have given some thought about the first version of the iPad mini, but wonder if the next one out will have the A6 processor and retina display.

Hey Patrick, what do you primarily use the mini for? I mean, 2 weeks after you got it, is it primarily information consumption device or do you get to do any work on it?

I plan to update my iPad to a newer model soon and I am still battling with thoughts which one to go for. The full one or the mini. The portability of the mini is something that would speak to me.

I use iPad for most of my work stuff. Mainly business management but still….

Well done, sir, well done! As of my last e-mail notification, mine is sitting in Alaska at the Fed Ex shipping depot having cleared the International shipping release – import? I think that means they got it off the plane, lol. It still be a long way from California, tho. ” sigh”

Glad to hear you were able to snag one. I just got back from my two week work trip from hell last night, and managed to track down a White 32GB WiFi version at a Walmart 20 miles from my house. It was the last one they had. My Apple order wasn’t due to arrive until 12/3, so I was very happy to grab one early to play with over the holiday. Hope you get some time to enjoy your this week.

I’m loving the Mini (32GB Black) and will keep my WiFi version as there is access almost wherever I go. Glad you found what you wanted.

Nice Patrick! I just sent in my iPad 3 (64 GB, Verizon LTE, White) to Gazelle this past Thursday. I had a quote for $550 good through 11/18. Meanwhile, I received my LTE iPad (64 GB, Verizon LTE, Black) on Thursday and set it up yesterday. It is working great so far. I love the reduced form factor and significantly reduced weight. Right now, I am using a Rocketfish folio case temporarily until the 2 cases that I ordered (STM Grip & Marware Microshell Folio) come in.
