Mini Ipad?

I have been thinking of ways to cut down on traveling weight. Combining my 5x7 film into one box, removing one of my 35mm cameras from the mix and going from 75 to 50 rolls of 35mm film. The latest idea is that instead of taking the mac laptop, I take a mini Ipad with tiny keyboard (a bit hard to use).

I am using the mini Ipad/keyboard now, it is hard to get used to the typing, my fingers are too big , the smaller size and weight are a great savings thou. The other advantage of going with the mini would be the apps I have on the unit, Burmese, Thai and Khmer language apps as well as fun stuff like Thai chess. I might even be able to take it out into the field for the kids in the dump to play with.
