What's funny about the iPad mini, at least from my perspective, is that my daughter made that her first savings goal and achieved it with impressive speed. And she uses the device constantly. In fact among carrots and sticks with her, the most effective stick is to put the iPad in timeout.
Her coaches use it to record video of her routines for instant feedback in practice. She checks for her homework on learning point (I do still have unfond memories of learningpoint/blackboard). We are military, and she keeps up with friends from all over the country. Via Wi-Fi she can call her Grammy, mom or me. In some ways it is more functional then my full-size retina iPad. Except I really like having a full-page PDF on the iPad.
- Nerdfest 13y agoThe other things that's funny is that she could have had a Nexus 7 tablet with a better screen, a faster processor, and more memory for quite a lot less money. But of course, it wouldn't say "Apple". This is a big part of the reason that Android is catching up or better. It's not just the low end of the market, it's also setting the bar at the high end for features and performance , and at a better price.
