Does anybody here know anything about the pros & cons between these two? I'm looking at them as a possible Christmas gift for the hubby. Neither of us are techies. At all. All I really know for sure is that I want to get him one with cellular access because he travels so much.

He's already got an iPhone. He'll use this as a larger screen for general web access, email, music, etc. I haven't found a mini in a store yet so that I could get my hands on it and see what the difference in screen size is. I guess they're not much bigger than the phone?

The mini uses the processor that was in last year's ipad. The new ipad has a faster processor this year. As far as the size of the products, I have the ipad 2 and I like it for email, web surfing, movies, etc. To me, the mini just seems too small especially for watching movies. The ipad is small enough the way it is and much more comfortable to use than even a 13" MacBook Pro

I think you're going to have a hard time finding a mini, though. From what I hear they are sold out in many retail outlets.

Thanks, y'all! I knew there had been good info somewhere in here previously but didn't have any luck with a search.
