You are so right! Leap Pads are such a horse of a different color. For some ppl, it works for them but not me

I'm watching the live event for the iPad mini. Tim Cook is being so dramatic that it's ridiculous. lol I guess I still don't quite understand the purpose of the iPad mini

Just like with anything else, moderation is the key.

I MAY buy it for my Goddaughter for Christmas. She loves being up on my best friend's iPad and I bought her a Leappad last year. It depends on my funds once the holidays are near.

I wonder how much it's going to cost. It's supposed to target the Kindle Fire and other inexpensive tablets, but I can't imagine Apple doing anything for close to $200. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.
+1 I'm thinking of getting it for my 7 year old to get her off my iPad as well. She's also extremely bright and she's had every electronic device they've ever created. lol It's in her blood. We love gadgets!!
