Krister, The main difference is that as far as I know an iPad Mini in portrait mode does not display things in a left and right screen area/container. For instance, normally on an ipad the Settings app (just using that as an example) shows the main categories on the left side and if, for example, you double tap on General, you then see all of what is under General on the right side. If you put an ipad Mini in portrait mode it will display/look like on an iphone which means if you double tap General the main Settings categories disappear and will be replaced with what is under General.
As to what is better would depend on each user and on how you get used to it and in the end you have to make that choice. I think I would probably use an iPad Mini more in portrait mode like my iPhone whereas I prefer to use a full-size iPad in landscape mode.

Are there any advantages/disadvantages with one over the other? /Krister -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
