I've researched alternatives for 3:4 screen Android tablets, and there are zero high-end ones. None. There is only the pretty but underwhelming Iconia A, as far as I can tell. But. The iPad mini 2 now starts at 299 and is only 349 with 32GB, and the ipad Air 1 starts at $399, so at this point, I could never spend $399+ for the Nexus 9. No friggin way.

I just need the mouse support, so I am considering either jailbreaking the one I have, or getting a Mini to jailbreak it so i can use a mouse with it, ... would still be cheaper than the Nexus 9, as crazy as it sounds.
