Should I buy the Ipad Mini? I was thinking great size to keep in the purse? Please comment and is there a new one coming out?

I'm sure there is a new one coming out because Target just dropped the price of the original $100 (it was $299 and was on sale for $199 this week for a 16gb). I bought one for my mom. I have a full size but my friend has a mini and loves that she can put it in her purse and take it with her.
Whether you should buy it is up to you and your finances though. I'd guess that the new one will range from $400-$800 depending on if you want cellular service and the capacity.

I have RA and difficulty holding the IPad. The mini is the perfect size for my hands.

Not sure if you "Need the New one" necessarily, but the mini is perfect for in the purse and very lightweight if you need to hold it for awhile. I absolutely love mine and use it every single day, several times a day!

I love my mini. I use it to put stuff in my ebay store. It's been taking great pics . It's really easy to tote around . I just bought a life case for it. I was using my regular iPad Air and I dropped it. Too big. I guess I should have had a life case on that too, cuz it's cracked now.

I have it. I'm on it right now. It's lightweight. Very purse portable. The images are super crisp and clear. I never have problems watching videos on it.
My DH has the full size iPad and I've never enjoyed using it.

I thought about getting one even though I love my android phone. I haven't really seen an android tablet I love yet. I tried to order one of the ipad minis from target and my order was promptly canceled (but I had to jump through hoops to get a refund for the service plan I bought with it). I've seen it for the same price at walmart.com but by the time I got my refund I was out of the mood.

I have a 7" android tablet and would really like a full size iPad. It's awkward to me because it's bigger than a phone and smaller than a net book. I hate typing on it.

I had a kindle fire HD. I found it too small, so got a full sized ipad. I don't use it while I am out and about. I tended to only use it for reading, so gave it to one of my children and got a Kindle Paperwhite. Now that I do take out and about, and am delighted that I can read in any light with it.

I've got the iPad mini and it's great for carrying around anywhere in a handbag/purse, I wouldn't be without mine now. It's light, neat in size and the screen resolution is great!

I love my mini! I bought it exactly for that reason. I wanted to easily carry it in my purse.
It's nice to have it there as I not only use the calendar for all of our activities I also use it for reading.

Thanks for all the input everyone. The mini us the one I'll go for when I can afford it. Prices are higher here than in the US.
