Amy,
I have ordered from the Apple store an iPad mini 16GB WiFi model for $329. They are currently offering free shipping and free engraving. Mine is suppose to be here by December 18th. I will be pairing it with a Garmin GLO that I already have. Since shoot a lot of photos and video, the only accessory I purchased with the iPad is a SD card reader at $29 (I think). So all total, with sales tax, less than $400.
I deliberately did not choose a 3G version because I don't really need a monthly data plan which with my currant provider, AT&T would cost me $360 per year. Also I have WiFi at my house and free WiFi is available at the airport.
I plan to adapt the iPad to my existing PC mount that I have on my yoke.
