Buying an iPad mini...good choice?

gino_76ph

Hi. I have successfully sold my Nexus 7 tablet as i am disappointed on several things. And i miss having an iOS device as it is very smooth and simple to use. But i have questions in regards the new iOS6 software on the iPad mini.

1. Copy & Paste - Is it as simple as pressing on to the screen, highlighting the part what you want to copy then pasting it to an email or note or anywhere?
2. Notes - Can one send a note to an email address?
3. Twitter & Photos - Can one save a photo from Twitter? (like the Android app) And are there new features on how to edit/crop/etc. a photo?
4. Is it true that the iPad mini has stereo speakers?
5. Can one connect the iPad mini to 3rd-party bluetooth devices such as speakers or keyboards?
6. Based on what i saw on the App Store is there now a new dedicated Youtube app for the iPad? Is this true?
7. Is there now a faster or better way to transfer files (such as songs or videos) from a Mac to an iPad wirelessly without the use of iTunes or any cloud-based services?
8. Are all files saved on my iPad mini saved on to the cloud as well?

Please advice. Thank You.

Re: saving a photo does it work like Android wherein you hard-press a photo (on Twitter or a website) or is there an option in the app or website itself?

How do i set to manual on what files i can save on the cloud?

And re: transferring files is there an easy way to transfer files via the wired way without using iTunes? If yes please how? if no then how do i transfer those files via iTunes from a connected portable hard drive on a Mac?

Have you thought about popping down to a MAC store and asking the experts as if then you are happy you could buy an iPad Mini?

This questions can't be too important to you since you didn't check BEFORE you sold the Nexus...

Good luck with that...

Do you always buy expensive new devices and then ask what the specs/functions are afterwards?

Sounds like the way Nottingham Forest choose their managers.

Is it bad or illegal to ask a question after buying a product? Yes i did my research. How the heck would i know how the thing works if i don't actually use it and try it and own one for myself?

There are differences between seeing the fine print on a website, Youtube videos or one that you see in the high street isn't it? Yup it is the same device but the best way is to actually to have one brand-new and actually trying it at home.

No it isn't bad to ask a question. But when someone ask's a similar question weeks ago about similar thing and then creates 2 more new threads along the same lines, then yes it does get bad.
