I'm using an iPad mini 2nd gen - I would love a newer one but this one just keeps on being usable...

I seriously think the upgrade cycle for these devices is just much much longer than most people think it is

The mini2 is a really nice iPad. I think it's at a similar sweetspot in the power/support curve that the Ipad2/mini1 was at -- something that's going to be usable for a good long time. (They sold something with the guts of the ipad2 for something like 4 years)

My mini2 has been used solidly for 2 years, I'm only looking to upgrade because the ipad2 the kids use has taken a beating and needs replaced.
