So, right now, my iPhone does a lot. And my iPad does a lot of what my iPhone does, and a lot more. And my Mac does a lot of what my iPad does, and a lot more. The circles overlap quite a bit.
This could be a good thing. My tools are flexible and powerful. I can write a blog post from whatever device I'm nearest.
This is also sometimes confusing. When I want to listen to music, I have to actively think about which device I should use. The iPhone is in my pocket, so I can listen as I move room to room. But my Mac is hooked up to my best speakers. But, I feel like surfing the web, so I should just play the music from the iPad already in my lap. I know, the epitome of 'First World Problem'.
What if the new iPad Mini occupies much of the same space the iPhone and iPad currently do? It would be portable enough to take with me everywhere, but still powerful enough to accomplish 90% of my tasks. It also wouldn't overlap as much as my Mac, which is increasingly becoming a "Work" machine.
Or I can stop fussing over imaginary objects that don't yet exist and see what's revealed Tuesday.
