I'm seriously thinking of getting an iPad. I'm looking forward to utilizing a larger screen that will display more information without having to scroll as much. In my mind, it's similar to having greater screen resolution with a screen-reader. There's more information available on a single screen at any given time. However, I'm going to compromise and get a Mini with retina display, which has the same processor as the iPad Air, but has a more manageable screen size for me and costs $100 less. I don't see paying $100 US more just for more screen.
