Ok, I was thinking about this, and getting tempted all the time!... but the lady needs to check if her hands are large enough to hold an iPhone comfortably in landscape; it looks like it could be a bit of a stretch. But if you can get a good grip with thumb one end and fingers the other; then the Mini will work sideways. I tend to phone up the general number and buy over the phone, so need to know most of this before it arrives, or we can get unexpected surprises. Ok, if they were expected, they wouldn't be a surprise. The gears are slipping in the brainbox.
Anyway, UK: 0800-048-0408; free hsipping. RobH, off to make tea and take my mind off it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neil Barnfather - TalkNav" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 02, 2012 1:54 PM Subject: Re: iPad Mini has arrived - first impressions Kawal, That I can do, putting my iPhone 5 directly on top of the iPad Mini, the iPhone 5 is a third of the size almost exactly. In other words, if you put 3 iPhone 5's side by side, this is almost the exact size taken up by the iPad Mini. It is the same thickness give or take as an iPhone 5… I can very easily hold it in one hand and can very easily use it with two… the weight is the biggest benefit, being half that of the larger full size iPad… it makes holding and using far easier and less strenuous.
