Hi,

I don't own any Apple computing devices - just an iPod

Thinking of getting an iPad mostly for music and photo management plus internet.

However, I have about 200+GB of pictures and music on an old Dell PC.

Whats the most cost effective approach to migrating to the apple world but with a focus on the iPad interface?

My wife will be a major user. She loves her iPhone and keeps telling me she wants to start organizing our photos and creating her own playlists. I think an iPad would promote her doing this.

I don't want to get a Mac Book as I want the tablet interface.

Is this the most cost effective approach?:

Get a Mac Mini to use as an apple compatible storage and "home base" after moving all of the media over from the Dell PC and then get a 32 or 64GB iPad to use as the interface?

Will the iPad give me wireless interface via WiFi to manage all of the media (200GB+ music & photos) held within the Mac Mini?
