I want to win the iPad Mini because I think it’s going to be the best handheld multi-purpose device on the market. The size just makes it so easy to carry around and the specs means its super powerful.

I’d love to have an iPad (mini or otherwise, LOL). I like the idea of having a tablet that can do so many different things… it’d be really nice to have for those days that I’m in too much pain to get out of bed or off the couch.

My name is Filip and I’m from Croatia. Big fan of Apple, especially iPad, which I can’t afford. How badly I want it will prove my story. It all started with qoiza and SteelSeries contest “Score out loud”. When I saw that grand prize is new iPad I immediately register and start collecting points. I really spent much time on that and do my best. After 4 weeks of waiting it’s time to pronounce a winner. I was sure that I am the winner, but I lost. Winner had 65980 points, and I had 65975. It was 5 points difference and I can’t forgive myself that. I could easily collect that 5 points, but I was sure that I will win. It took me a long time to forget that defeat because I was so close. I was searching all iPad contest and giveaways because I want it so badly that iPad. Last week I found contest on destructoid which was sponsored by Big Fish games. Price is iPad mini, but wait, it’s still an iPad so I entered. All I need to do is look like McDivot. I put mask on my face and sign in. It was easy. After my picture was selected among the best 3, it’s time to do something for iPad. Person with most likes on Facebook will win. In 2 days I collect 181 likes, and my opponent 100. I was very happy. Finally win long-awaited iPad. But problem came out when they contact me about shipping. I sent them my address and personal information and they said that is contest only for US. After some time trying to persuade them to sent me iPad nothing change. They sent it to second person with most likes. Again, time of sadness. Now I didn’t fail, but they had. Finally I saw Choosinglove giveaway yesterday and thought to share my bad experience with iPad contest. Please help me to remove the curse of iPad on me. All my failures you can check it on internet. Hope you will make the right decision.

Filip, thank you for sharing your story, but since you live outside the US you will not be allowed to win. This giveaway is only open to US residents who are 18 and older, which is listed three times in this post. Please understand there is no decision to make and is not a contest. This is a giveaway, which means all entrants that meet the qualifications have an equal chance to win. The winner is pulled from random.org based upon entry methods used. Wishing you the best of luck in winning your own iPad or iPad Mini.

I had an Ipad, but my home was burglarized and they took it among other things
My 3 years old son had many educative apps. on it so we felt bad.
Christmas and his birthday are 4 days apart so it would make a great gift!

I have been curious about them. Wondering how blogging would be on one, and over all just using it for all the I do already on my phone, which is an android. I totally want to switch to Iphone! An Ipad sounds pretty neat.

Several reasons I would love winning one. I do disaster relief and it would be small enough to take with me. I could take pictures with it and keep up with my information while I am gone as well. I am also disabled and on fixed income so unable to buy one and It is just so compact I could easily work with it. Would love it.
