I jut got my wife an iPad mini as I have had a full sized iPad for almost 2 years. She is constantly finding new uses for it. With so many apps to choose from, it is not hard to get it customized for one’s individual tastes. I just downloaded IOS 8.3 for her and it was like getting a new machine. I did not realize that her iPad mini would sync to her iPhone until I herd her iPad raining. Who wudda thunk! I think iPads are the greatest!
