I am disappointed by the reports that Apple will discontinue the iPad Mini. I own a iPad Mini 4 that I really like. In my opinion it is the perfectly sized small tablet, both from a screen size and overall weight perspective, and that makes it perfect for reading eBooks. 

I do admit, however, that the small screen size prevents the Mini from being the best productivity tool. For work related activities, I prefer a table that is at least 10.5 inches. Consequently, I am keeping my eye out for the rumored new iPad Pro announcement, although I am a bit fearing the potential price.  

As I have written before, I am conflicted over what will be my next personal computing purchase. The primary conflict is over whether I want (or need) an Android tablet. While I like the iPad hardware, I still prefer Android over iOS from an operating system perspective. Samsung's device might be a good option, but then I am as about as interested in Samsung's ecosystem as I am about iOS. 

I wonder whether Google will announce a replacement of the Pixel C at I/O?
