I Pad mini

[Deidre Muccio]

Ok, Best Buy (cringe) has the I pad minis on sale for $239. I might go look. I 
take it that these are identical in function to the IPhones and voice over 
works just as well, correct?

Subject: number of phones, was about bookshare

 

Deidre,

People have two iPhones or two phones with the same carrier when they have a 
work phone and a home phone, so I actually do not think that is an issue.

So, I gather from what you said about the 4S, you are basically using it as a 
wifi device only and not using it as a phone.

If that is the case, one thought would be to activate it as a phone and replace 
whatever you are currently using as a phone with it and instead of buying 
another phone, perhaps buy an iPad Mini, either the newest mini 2, or the 
previous mini with retina display.

Use the phone for phone things, and use the mini for books, music etc. You will 
have double the battery life at least with a mini.

Or, like you say, chuck both current phones, and get a new iPhone with enough 
memory for what you want to do and go with a lower cost plan through someone 
like t-mobile, Consumer Cellular, etc., where you would not be tied into a 
contract.

There are tons of options. The first thing I would do is sort out exactly what 
you want to be able to do. Then, do you want one device or two to maintain, 
then talk with the different carriers and see what you can afford.

Good luck,

Richard

i pad mini accessories?

[Ann Chiappetta]

Hi;

Getting ready to buy an I pad mini and want a good case and  Bluetooth
keyboard, the latter with hard  tactile keys. Suggestions? Been shopping
around on Amazon: just wanted feedback if you can help.

Thanks and Happy New Year.

Re: I Pad mini

[Christopher Chaltain]

Correct. The big difference is that the iPad Mini doesn't have the phone 
calling and texting feature you'll get on a phone. There are also some 
minor differences where apps will take advantage of the larger display, 
so some screen layouts may differ from the iPhone to the iPad. There are 
also a few apps that you don't get on the iPad, but they're easy enough 
to replace from the App Store. voiceOver does work the same, so you get 
the same accessibility.

Re: I Pad mini

Just make sure you spend your time checking out the pros and cons of having the 
larger screen, and a second device to keep track of.
I'd also make sure to get one with the 64 bit processor if you do go that 
route. 
Get other people's input too.
Best of luck,

Re: I Pad mini

[Alan J Paganelli]

I would add to this, also get the largest size hard drive you can afford even 
if it means waiting and saving up for it.  Why?  People who practice I want 
what I want and I want it now often regret it.  With adding more and more apps, 
email, and all the other stuff most of us put on our phones, it’s far better to 
have it and not need it then to need it and not have it.  If iPhones and iPads 
used an SD card instead of a hard drive, it wouldn’t be a problem.  Just get a 
larger SD card or a second or third card.  SD cards can get lostbut the hard 
drive isn’t going anywhere.

Re: i pad mini accessories?

[Rob Harris]

I'm still kitting up mine, so can't make final judgements. I think the 
keyboard is one of, or a close workalike, of the Amazon basic,  good size 
for full size iPad,  bigger than the Mini,  but what the heck, it's a good 
fit to the hand and works well.  Case, tons of flip cover type with magnets 
to operate the screen lock, but heading for military grade impact protection 
and not bothered about bulk.  No one has mentioned using the iBalls yet, 
it's not a case, but makes pretty good protection by all accounts, as it's 
like for rubber fenders on the corners; makes good high grip feet when you 
lay it down or prop it up.

Talking Goggles with i-pad mini,

[Cathy]

I am getting an i-pad mini and am wondering if talking goggles will work with 
the i-pad?  For that matter, will most apps for the phone work with the i-pad 
mini?  If I have to, I can give you all the list of the apps I have and see if 
they will work?  Thanks in advance for any info in advance.

Re: Talking Goggles with i-pad mini,

Hello Cathy,

Talking Goggles doesn't show up on the list of purchased apps for my iPad Mini, 
although I have it on my iPhone. I presume that means it isn't available for 
iPad.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Talking Goggles with i-pad mini,

[Gadget Girl]

Hello.  I have put all my apps from my iPhone on my iPad Mini.  Some apps 
perform a little quirky, while others perform okay.  I do have Goggles on my 
iPad, but I have not used it yet.  

To get your iPhone apps on your iPad Mini, do the following steps:
First, open up your App Store.  Next, click on the purchased tab.  It is tab 4 
of 5, located on the bottom right-hand corner of your iPad Mini.  In the top 
left-hand corner of your iPad, right underneath the status bar, you should find 
an iPad Apps button.  Double click on that.  A pop up window should appear.  
VoiceOver will say, "selected, iPad Apps". Touch the pop up with one finger to 
put focus on the pop up window.  VoiceOver will say, "dismiss pop up…".  At 
that point, swipe ones to the right with one finger, voiceOver will say, 
"selected, iPad Apps".  Swipe again to the right and you should hear, "iPhone 
Apps".  Double tap on that.  Now all your iPhone apps should be visible.  Put 
your finger back in the top left-hand corner underneath the status bar and you 
should hear, "iPhone Apps button".  You can swipe to the right to pick your 
search criteria and download the apps you want to install on your iPad. Good 
luck.

Gadget Girl
