After I get time to play with the stuff I just got (plus really delve into apps I already have like Arpeggionome Pro), the apps on the top of my to-buy list include Beatmaker 2, Elastic Drums, StepPolyArp, SeekBeats Drum Machine, and SoundPrism Electro (I already have/love Soundprism Pro).Thanks for the feedback on the iPad mini. I don't own Gadget or Nave, though I might look into them some time in the future. For music production I'd prefer a bigger screen, but the mini is what I use for reading ebooks and the bigger iPads are too heavy for me to hold one-handed for long.

Refurb units come with as-new 1-year warranties, look brand new, are eligible for Applecare extended warranties, and can save you 15%. If I didn't absolutely need an iPad now I'd wait a year, otherwise I'd again buy Apple refurb.

I think it's likely that next year we'll see a trickle down of the iPad Pro Tech - crazy-fast Macbook-type CPU/GPU speeds, screen sensor upgrade so it can work with the new Pencil stylus, etc. Refurbished iPad - Apple Certified, 1-Year Warranty - Apple So when that news came out I ordered a refurbed iPad Mini 2 (128Gb, WiFi+Cellular) for $539, which today Apple is selling refurbed for $489: I got my Mini 2 refurbed from Apple last October when their announced Mini refresh didn't upgrade the processor or offer anything additional besides a gold color option and TouchID. Just concerned some of the more complex iPad apps might be a pain to use on the smaller version.Controls on the Mini can indeed be a pain compared to the Air but I wanted something lighter and more portable for overall use. Do you happen to have Gadget and/or Nave? If so, can you comment about using them on the iPad mini? I was holding off on buying an iPad until they refresh the models again, but I saw the mini just got updated and was tempted by the smaller size.
