Will you get an iPad mini? Is it too expensive?
I asked these questions on Twitter. Here are the answers I got.
@dsilverman $249 makes it compelling. $199 ends the tablet wars full stop. $329 is just silly.
@dsilverman yes, actually. But I only want to pay $299 for it. Why is it so much more?
Yes if it was $200 RT @dsilverman: Does the iPad mini interest you at all? Do you want one? How much do you think it's worth?
@dsilverman I'll have to hold/play with it to find out. I think the price is right, although $299 would've been cool.
@dsilverman Schiller has me sold yesterday. I'm ready to dump the big boy and settle on the mini. The standard size seems too big.
@dsilverman / quite / yes / "should be" $279 entry but I'd go as high (and could only justify) $299 to our household bookkeeper. #ipodtouch
@dsilverman Slightly interested. I think it’s a little expensive without a retina display and slower chip.
@dsilverman Technologically,design,engineering,materials.I don't want one.Less than it's sold.
@dsilverman Apple failed at pricing/features. No incentive to buy a mini @ $70 less than the 2. No incentive to buy a 4 when you have a 3.
@dsilverman No, no, $47.50. (Realistically, about $200 - $250 is all I'd pay for any tablet device.)
@dsilverman at $200 I'd consider buying an iPad Mini and leaving it in the bathroom. For $330, I'll pass. Used iPad 2's are cheaper.
@dsilverman. Yes, mostly for it's size. I believe it's perfect. Nice look also. Little pricey( wouldn't be with Retina/similar and/or A6)
@dsilverman This was going to solve the 2 kids, one iPad dilemma. Now, I am hesitating a bit. Will prob still do it.- @dsilverman I currently own a 64gb iPad and bought a 64gb iPad 3 for my mom. Mostly I use iPad for reading pdf's but more & more for music.
- @dsilverman yes ! and yes ! the price is on the high side but is no more than I expected, I’ll be preordering, my iPad2 will go on eBay
