    Q: Can I use my current cellular carrier for this mini iPad?

    A: This will depend. If you mean you have a cellular plan with a carrier on a current iPad, transfer should be easy. If it is on a cellphone, and you want to use it on the iPad, that will be different. In the second example (cellphone plan to iPad plan) it's best you ask your carrier about the steps.

    Q: Does the new ipad mini with cellular have the gps mapping function

    A: Yes, all cellular versions of every iPad in apples line up has a GPS antenna. Again, ONLY the cellular versions have this antenna. The wifi versions DO NOT have any sort of GPS antenna.

    Q: Is there a way to completely turn off the blue light on this iPad? (Trying to find a tablet as close as possible to the Kindle Paperwhite.)
