Read on some place, mini ipad would be release early 2011. Its 7\", between iphone and ipad. I think this size is reasonable, compare to ipad.

The current one is just nice for me. Although it is a little bulky to carry around, the screen is the right size for the aging eyes of mine. Any smaller would require frequent zooming and scrolling, then may as well get an iPhone.

Likewise, DS loves to play with my iPad. I control his playtime with it as part of his overall gadget playtime. He has a choice to play with iPad, wii, psp or computer, but overall playtime remains the same as before.

DS does not scold me if I refused to let him play, he will just look at me with his sorrowful eyes and disappointed look that need a stone heart to ignore.

My DD is less gentle. She'd just grab the iPad right from my hands :x

Agreed. Even now I have to zoom a lot when I read the papers. But I don't mind having a thinner and lighter one

Another issue I faced is the "clicking" on links on webpage. At current size, it is already too small most of the time for my fat finger to click accurately, can’t imagine how to click using the smaller screen.

Since the ipad is still new (a day old) & thanks to the experiences of all parents with ipad, I'm restricting games to weekends/holidays only.

But I also want to instill the idea that the ipad is not for games only, but also education. So will be using it to teach on weekdays.. hence need to source for good education apps and ebooks.

My kids dont play Wii, Playstaion, etc currently, maybe too complicated for them than just slashing fruits on ipad. They also prefer traditional toys like Lego bricks, soldiers, etc.

In fact, I've been trying to get them play software games or activities for some time now.. Worried that they might reject IT stuff. At least now they like ipad.

Hey tankee,

Totally agreed! The words so small now, can’t imagine using smaller screen.haha.
