Apple iPad Mini

Pros: Portable, Battery Life, Bright Screen, One Hand Use, Loud Speakers

Cons: Recharge Time, Tiny Text Occasionally.

Summary: Just like the new iPad my family is Mini, me, my wife, and our 5 month old in a one bedroom apartment. As you might imagine space is at a premium. We use the Mini all the time as a second computer, an eReader, and to watch video.
If you have a baby you know you spend a lot of time swaying, walking, and soothing, last night I did so while reading my favorite sports column. In the unfortunate event you spend time in the hospital with your kiddo the Mini fits well on the cluttered surfaces of pediatrics room. Since it is small we can use it while holding a sleeping child. We find it the perfect size to just grab and use, and sometimes more importantly, put down in a hurry to attend to a baby.

Compared to other small tablets the Apple is a very polished, finished device, the use of aluminum and the evolutionary iOS combine for a sophisticated intuitive system that can be just about anything you like. The Mini is a mobile television, eReader, computer replacement, gaming system, and with siri a family scheduler/reminder system.
