Ever since the iPad mini came out, i’ve been in love with it. It’s great for media consumption, but great for work too. I do my scheduling on it, using the calendar app synced with my google calendar. I use springpad for notes, tasks, ideas etc. street bidder is absolutely awesome on the mini. i’ve messed with invoice2go to, but have yet to implement it in the field. that may happen next season.
so, i just upgraded to the new version with the retina display. it’s really really sweet. it fixes the only minor weakness the original had, a somewhat mediocre display.
if anyone is considering a tablet for work, i highly recommend either version of the ipad mini. if you don’t mind the price tag, the new one is well worth it. however… if anyone is looking for a nice, slightly used 1st gen ipad mini- i can help you with that!
i would be happy to sell my old one to a fellow wcr’r at a nice price. it’s white, 16gb, wifi only, under warranty till february, and is in 9.5 out of 10 condition. it also has some ::ahem:: unauthorized mods to the software… if you are into that sort of thing.
i would gladly pass it along to someone here for $250 shipped. they are going for anywhere from $260- $300 on ebay. let me know if you are interested.
