ipad mini or ipad with retina for college
I cannot decide between the ipad mini and the ipad with retina. I am an engineering student and want to carry around an iPad instead of lugging my books plus laptop around. I want to be able to pull it out in class and read my books on it.
Is the mini going to be hard to read my textbooks on? is the ipad 4 going to be too large to pull out in class, is it worth the extra money?
Obviously the 170 dollar price difference is a big deal. I also am not sure if I need the 32gb. I don't plan on using it for much besides school, so no music downloads or movies will be stored on it.- Asked by Jaime R from Saint Peters

Best AnswerI can honestly say that the iPad mini displays textbooks (and all books for that matter) really, really well. The size is perfect because it is really thin and light, something that can't be said of the full size iPad. It's super easy to type and highlight on the mini and takes up less space in your bag. The full size iPad may be a tad faster at key things like opening apps or opening a webpage a few seconds faster, but the iPad mini is perfectly speedy enough to do anything and everything from reading and annotating books, to creating documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, to loading big pages and running super powerful apps with no lag whatsoever. The battery life on the mini is also fantastic, and it really is quite portable and capable for its size and price. The smaller screen size doesn't compromise any of the apps or functionality of a full size iPad at all. Hope I helped!

should i get a white or black ipad mini?

Best AnswerFor looks, the black and slate is probably the best. It's got got nice features and the feeling of the slate is very good. The slate also gives you a bit of a blue tinge which is quite nice too. The white and silver iPad mini is all a bit bright. Although, it make the camera and home button more visible. My choice would be the black and slate but I think the white and silver is very cool too.

How do I hear sound from my iPad through my car sound system?
I have an iPad 3 and want to listen to audiobooks whilst driving my car on frequent long distant travel. I drive a VW Golf. The speaker in the iPad is not strong enough to hear over the engine noise at speed and holding th iPad with speaker uppermost on my lap is satisfactory for sound but unsatisfactory for safety.

what is the difference between wifi or wifi with 3g
I want to buy another ipad and I want to know what is the difference between an ipad with just wifi or an ipad with wifi and 3g

Best AnswerThe iPad with only wifi will only work where Internet service is available . Example Home, work, hot spots. The iPad with 3G allow you to access your iPad online through use of a cellular data plan on monthly basis or a prepaid data card. Both Verizon and AT&T have no contract data pans available. I have the iPad 2 64 GB. With Wifi and 3G and love it. It is worth the extra 50.00 Dollars or so. Get the best you can afford will last longer!!

Best AnswerHi Julie,
The real only differences between the iPad mini & iPad 2 are:
The screen size 9.7" compared with 7.9"
The connectors: iPad 2 - 30 Pin Connector / iPad mini - Lightning Connector 8 Pin
The camera is also slightly better in the iPad mini to the iPad 2
If you like Siri the voice assistant then the iPad mini has this feature the iPad 2 does not.
iPad mini starts at £269 available in 16/32/64GB on the Apple Store
iPad 2 starts at £329 but only available in 16GB
I hope this helps.- Answered by Josh R

Do I have to purchase a service contract with the ipad wi-fi or could I use my cable Internet?
I have a cable Internet service for my computer. I also have the firet iPad that works fine with my Internet. If I purchase the new iPad with wi-fi, do I have to purchase a wi-fi service such as AT&T, Verizon, etc.?

Best AnswerIf you meant the one with cellular internet service then yes you will have to purchase the appropriate iPad for your cellular provider. If you intend to purchase a wi-fi only iPad then it is incapable of using a cellular data network and will operate the same as your previous iPad on your current internet service.

should i get ipad mini 32 gb 3G or ipad 2 16 gb 3G?

Best AnswerIf the iPad will be you only computer, and you need to store lots of music on it, go for the 32 gb model of either iPad 2 or iPad mini. If you have a laptop or desktop computer on which to store music, the 16gb iPads are sufficient. If you absolutely must take all you tunes with you, use the iCloud or buy a wireless external hard drive for extra storage space. My iPad 2 WiFi 16gb serves me very well. Additional storage options abound.
