Many business people carry both an iPad in one form or another plus an iPhone. My thought that if the mini was also a phone, that would eliminate one device. Sense I've never even touched an iPad I'm just assuming the mini would just be an over grown iPhone. My other thinking was it being larger, would also be easier to type on and possibly eliminating the need for an external keyboard. If I'm doing my email on my iPhone, I use my Amazon Basics Bluetooth keyboard to enter in the text. I think that would be good when I'm in the motor home and saves me from having to bring along my netbook I already have a 17.3 inch entertainment laptop that has a 10 and a half hour battery life and we use that to watch movies and such when dry camping so I'm already looking toward consolidation of devices.----- Original Message ----- From: Lauren Simmons To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2013 1:27 PM Subject: Re: getting an iPad mini
Yes, I agree. why would anyone use a "telephone" communications device of this nature in any other way? Besides, for those who have lost track of the discussion, the argument centers around placing cell service feature on an iPad mini which makes 100% sense to me and anyone else who has the intelligence to primarily use with and earpiece and alike. I know this simple solution doesn't make for mindless list serve arguments, but it is a very good solution, and as much choice as possible is best. (Smile).
