A new iPad form factor will share some of the same uses as the standard tablet, but with its different physical size, can expect the new iPad mini to be better adapted to other uses. In this presentation we will identify some of the benefits and opportunities that businesses can gain from the new iPad mini.
2. 1. Logistics
A smaller sized iPad can be much more
convenient for any person or company
that has to pick, pack or deliver items.
While a standard iPad may to too big, and
an iPod Touch too small, the iPad Mini
might be just right.
3. 2. Publication, ebooks
and emagazines
The iPad mini is expected to focus on
delivering content such as books and
magazines. Getting content ready for the
iPad mini will enable businesses to get a
head start on their competitors.
4. 3. Going Paperless
For a business to go paperless, it needs
something to replace the paper. Tablets
that are affordable could fill that gap, and
a more affordable iPad in the mini format
could fill that role.
5. 4. Enhancing the
Education Market
An iPad mini could be just perfect for
children with their small hands. Business
creating educational content need to start
preparing it for the iPad mini as schools
increasingly adopt it for their pupils.
6. 5. Location-Based
Applications
The additional portability of the iPad mini
over and above the standard iPad makes it
more useful for location-based services.
This increases the marketing opportunities
available to companies interested in the
physical location of their customers.
7. 6. Portable Form Filling
Why take big computers or big iPads with
you when you need to collect form based
data? The smaller form factor of the iPad
mini may make data collection and the
necessary interactions much easier.
8. 7. Gaming
The iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad have
already revolutionized gaming, making
Apple an industry leader. A new, smaller
tablet will be perfect for gaming,
especially among children. Get your new
iPad mini games ready now!
9. 8. Point of Sales
How would your customers conceive of
your business if you have a small, sleek
iPad mini-based terminal rather than a big
clunking standard POS terminal? With a
smaller system, can your employees just
carry it around with them? How will this
change your business and how you treat
your clients?

10. 9. On the Beach
The iPad mini is a great device for the
beach, especially for those who already
have an iPad. The fact that it is at a
cheaper price point will enable users to
take an iOS device to places that they
would not normally dare take a more
expensive standard iPad.
11. 10. Enhancing Retail
The smaller-sized iPad mini would be a
great addition to retail shelves to help
provide more depth to product knowledge.
They can act as mini information guides
improving and enriching the shopping
experience. The form factor is ideal to be
noticed without taking up too much room.
