I feel the same way. I gave my iPad 1 to a friend; yeah, I liked it okay but it wasn't doing anything for me that my iPhone couldn't do and the iPhone was right there with me. As for the benefits of the different layouts, that's a very individual thing; one person's benefit may be another person's curse! And the person who hasn't embraced what may be benefits isn't going to be convinced; that's just a matter of personal preference. But I also am drawn by the idea of the mini and keep giving myself lectures about how I gave away the other iPad. Maybe the mini would carve its own niche in my life, but I have to decide whether that's really the best expenditure of my limited financial resources and try not to be driven by the appeal of the new, which is like the salmon swimming upstream to spawn - not bery easy!
