right, I didn't know it was my responsibility to intuit what you mean. I can only go by what you wrote. When I think of Tv I think of television and movies before I think of any 30 second video clip one can find on the internet. But either way, why don't you prove I'm wrong? Keep in mind, I didn't say all video content or, just video content. I said prolonged video content. to be more specific, televisions shows, or feature length movies. I guess you didn't read that part though. And, you brought up TV and 4 inch screens, not I. I wasn't aware I just had to respond to the parts of your posts that suited you.
Finally, I'm not a thin woman, and I own an iPad mini. Yes, its relatively light. But, I certainly can not hold my iPad mini 1 handed while on a call for as long as I can hold an iPhone. Or any phone for that matter. Yes, one can use there bluetooth ear piece or, headphones like I could have sworn I mentioned in my other message, but as I pointed out, unless you are on very short calls or, just plan on being stationary while on your call, the weight and mass still plays into the effectiveness as an iPad mini as a phone. And obviously, there are some folks out there that would love the iPad mini as a phone. You can find someone who likes anything if you look hard enough. I just don't think its a practical option for most.
