Finally my iPad Mini came today! I preordered this back when they were announced and they just released the cellular version and mine came today. I am a huge fan of the iPad and absolutely LOVE having it in the cockpit when I fly. It just makes cockpit managment so much easier and cleaner and now with a smaller iPad, I think it will be even better yet. With it's smaller size, it shouldn't take up so much lap space and it is significantly lighter as well. I'm not sure if there is a RAM mount for it yet, but that might also be nice for the iPad mini as well. The size appears to be just right for reading approach plates, but I guess I'll just have to go up and burn few holes in the sky and test it out. I'll post more once I get a chance to play with it a bit!
I've never even looked at one. Curious to see how it looks / works, and whether you miss the additional screen size. That's always the trade-off, with phones and tablets alike: does the added convenience of having a smaller device cost too much in reduced screen size? We'll have to chat about it once you have played with it a bit.
