RE: very basic iPad question

2013-01-30 Thread Joe
I wouldn't get an iPad Mini, or iPad of any kind, if you're happy with your
iPhone. Yeah, it's everyone's individual choice yadda yadda, but honestly,
I've got an iPad and an iPhone and the iPad just feels bulky and
unnecessary. Pair up your iPhone with a Bluetooth, and you're going to get
the exact same experience. Longer battery life? Not enough to make a
difference and not something one of the portable battery pakcs can't solve.
More screen real estate to get a better sense of web layout? This could make
a difference if you're a web developer and need to verify the position of
text, but even then the difference is insignificant. I've got an iPad 4 that
I am not motivated enough to try to keep selling, but from my own
perspective, for a blind person the iPad is not the best investment of
money. Save up a little more and get a Mac Air.

Well, after some thought, I can't think of anything. Size can
matter and
speaker size and quality can matter, can listen to podcasts
better in that
respect,  but it is the same os, so it does all the same except
make  real
phone calls or natively make or send sms messages.   You can pair 
any size
keyboard to the phone for quicker typing maybe,  and the screen
layout is
simpler, though some like the  more sophisticated gui layout on
the iPads.

Don't know if this helps, I have both!

Quite a few of us do in fact.

Thanks Joe,

That's exactly the conclusion I've come to (for me) which is why 
I'm looking for a comfortable, user friendly BT keyboard.

Re: very basic iPad question

2013-01-28 Thread RobH!
The phone is a pocket sized out and about thing where retaining battery life 
is a consideration.  The Mini is an armchair thing for home, but not at the 
desk;  and you're within readch of power when you need to, though it is a 
very good battery life. On a desk and in landsccape mode, you can type on it 
almost normally. But with a bt keyboard, you can do that to the phone.   But 
it's the home and away bit mainly.

That, and just like these things.

RE: very basic iPad question

2013-01-27 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Kim,

You may want to check the archive for iPad Mini as there have been a few
discussions since the iPad Mini was released in late October.

Anyhow, basically the iPad Mini can't really do a lot the iPhone can't do
except that there are some iPad specific apps which you may or may not find
useful. Unfortunately I can't think of any example right now, maybe somebody
else will give one.

Apart from that the larger screen is what most people find attractive and it
seems from posts I have read on here that many people find a full-sized iPad
almost too large as special orientation is more difficult, the iPad Mini
seems to be just right to give more space but not so much to make it hard to
find stuff.

The iPad Mini also has stereo speakers and they would be a bit louder and
probably of better quality than those on an iPhone simply due to their size.

I think an iPad Mini is definitely on my list as well, but for the time
being I'm sitting on the fence to see if there will be a new one in March.
According to Rob from the Today in iOS podcast he doesn't think there will
be any new major product announcements until June and even though the iPad
Retina as the full-size iPad it is now called was updated twice last year in
March and October, he predicts that it maybe the first iDevice to be updated
once again. Having a retina display is certainly of no importance for a
blind person unless you have sighted people in the family who would also use
it, but I was sort of waiting to see if the next iPad Mini will have a
retina display. Once again, Rob from Today in iOS doesn't think the iPad
Mini will get a retina display until 2014, but while he is totally in the
loop as far as one can be with Apple, I somehow would be surprised if it
took this long considering that everything now including the new MacBook Pro
has a retina screen. In any case, It's already February so I'll wait until
the end of March and by then I probably will say I may as well wait until
June and I know that if I wait until June and still nothing has been
announced I will most definitely wait until September or October at that
point.

Sieghard

Subject: very basic iPad question

Hi,

I've been using an iPhone for a couple of years and love it.  I'm 
thinking about adding an iPad mini to my life.

What does an iPad mini do that an iPhone does not?

Thank you,

Kim

I very much enjoyed doing email on the iPad versus the iPhone. Also, in many 
apps there are listings on the left, and specifics on the right. For example, 
your list of messages are on the left, and when you choose a person who sent 
you a message, the conversation is on the right. There is no need to go into 
another screen.

I think the size of the many as perfect, not too big, And  not too small.

Re: very basic iPad question

HI.  I agree with you about the size of the mini.  I too enjoy email more.  
I've found if I use the roter to go to containers, I can flick up to get to  
the reply, delete buttons etc and flick down a couple of times to get to the 
Message.  When I used to check email using a blue tooth keyboard on the iphone, 
there seemed to be a lot of arrowing around especially if the iphone was out of 
reach and I couldn't touch specific areas of the screen in order to jump 
quickly between elements.  this doesn't happen so much with the container 
option on the roter with the mini.



Maria, Joe and Karly.
