Re: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone

[Alan Paganelli]

There is only 1 speaker in the iPad and it's mono.  You can get stereo 
through the head phone jack though.  I have a set of powered speakers I use 
for my old desktop computer and every now and then I plug them into my 
iPhone 5 for stereo listening to music or iTunes radio.

Alan

HI all. I have thought at times about getting an iPad Mini. For me,
since I have a hearing loss, the larger speakers would be a definite
plus to having either the Pad or the Mini. Also, my wife would benefit
from the larger screen since she has to squint lots of times to be
able to read the smaller iPhone screen. Granted, she has a 5C but
still. I am totally blind and if I were to get a iPad, I would not get
the largest iPad. That is too much empty space for me to navigate. I
could better navigate the Mini's screen size. That seems like more of
a happy medium for me between the phone and the largest iPad. In my
case, I would probably use a Mini for listening to books, music and
other entertainment things, where my iPhone is my go-to communication
device. My wife would use it for the larger screen to play all her
games.

Hi

I have iPad mini, ipad4, and iphone5. I absolutely love my iPad mini.
I use my iPad mini as my primary device, and yes, thats greater than what
i would use on my MacBook Air, or my laptop pc.
I use it for almost everything and anything, from web browsing, emailing,
ereading, skype, gaming, just praticlely anything but phoning.
I think all those ideas of bigger screen need bigger movement on how you
perform a jestures are wrong. Yes, it is true for some drag and drop 
case,
moving from one point of the screen to another, but the jestues on the
ipad is as easy as the phone.
Also, if you are one who type quite comfortably on a touch screen, 
without
any external keyboard, you will more than likely to find that typing on
iPad mini is easier, than typing on the phone or the full size ipads.
I'm an absolute power user, like i said, as its my primary device.
However, i only need to charge it every 2 to 3 days, and thats with like
30% to 40% left on my battery.
As far as the keyboard case is concern, you can get some keyboard case
that is like a book folio, where you have the keyboard on the left, and
the ipad on the right. in this setting, more than likely or not you will
have your ipad on landscape mode.
I usually have my ipad lock on

Hi,

I'm curious about these keyboard covers or cases for iPads and iPad
Minis. How exactly is the keyboard incorporated into the case? I keep
imagining a keyboard hardware over the lower part of the screen, but 
this
can't be the case, can it? Is the keyboard on the inside of the flap 
that
covers the screen when closed? Doesn't this run the risk of damaging the
screen?

Thanks in advance for an explanation. Keith

This is actually a good point if you plan to use the mini as a sort of
laptop. Because of the larger size, the keyboard covers you can get for
them are very nice because they can accomidate a larger keyboard that 
are
usually very comfortable to type on just like a laptop. In this sense,
the mini works very well and so does the regular full size iPad.



Best regards,

Rick Alfaro

Hi,

I just came back from a trip to Las Vegas where I left my Macbook pro
behind, and brought my iPad mini with me.  I have a logitech folio
keyboard case for it.  I only use the keyboard when typing not so much
for navigating.  This setup worked extremely well for me.  For starters,
the battery life.  It was nice going 3 days on a single charge, and 
thats
after hard use.  Video streaming, ebook reading, music streaming, web
browsing, etc.  During that same time, I was recharging my iPhone
sometimes twice a day.

As far as the gestures go, since the screen is larger, some might feel
their gestures need to be larger as well.  This is definitely not the
case. moving your finger left, right, up or down is more than enough to
do the trick for navigating on an iPad.

Thanks.

Hi everyone. Long ago i had an IPad first generation and even an IPad
2nd generation but we never became friends. Every time i tried to do a
swiping gesture, the ipad thought i wanted to go down a row or
something. Now i'm not good at going in totally streight lines so that
may likely have caused this issue, so i sold the pads. Now however i'm
thinking of getting myself one of these Mini retina thingimajigs, but
i'm also thinking why would i want an ipad in the first place, so 
that's
the question i ask you. What if anything do you iphone and ipad owners
use one device for and not the other? What works better on a pad then 
on
a phone or vice versa? Is a Mini really easier to navigate than an Air
or the like?
Thanks for any answer.
