Ricardo, Thanks so much for the input. I have been trying to decide if I will purchase an iPad mini. I have many friends that have them, but, they are sighted and like the bigger screen as opposed to the phone. I use headphones for listening to most music, so the speaker wouldn't be a consideration. I can always buy a blue tooth speaker. Do you use Siri on the iPad? How do you type your messages? Right now I am using mbraille. I guess it would take some getting used to on the iPad. Anyway, thanks again for your input. I priced them today, so I may get one.
