Undoubtedly one of the hottest tech gadgets to launch in the last year, the iPad mini is an incredibly in-demand product. Whether you've just replaced an older tablet or saved up for this toy specifically, there's no doubt that you'll love everything that the iPad mini has to offer.

But, even with the incredible simplicity of Apple products, these toys can be a little daunting to set up if its your first time, and you might feel as if you don't know where to begin. If you've just treated yourself to a brand new iPad mini and are unsure of what to do first, follow these steps.

1. Sync with your other devices - Apple will let you sync your iPad mini with all of your other devices, but you might not want everything on your tablet to end up on your phone and vice-versa. Take stock of what apps and data you rely on no matter what, and make sure those are available, but don't feel pressured to add everything.

2. Download and organize your apps - The App Store is definitely one of the greatest things about all Apple products, and the programs specifically designed for the iPad are even more amazing. Check out the special games, television-viewing programs and note-taking software that help to make the iPad as useful as it can possibly be.

3. Figure out your accessories - Like any electronic device, you'll probably feel more comfortable if you have your mini in a case, but you should also be on the lookout for any other Apple accessories you might find useful. If typing is a little difficult on the smaller screen, consider adding a wireless keyboard for writing.

No matter what you need for your new Apple product, Spotted Horse is the accessory source for you. They feature everything from iPad cases and covers to special keyboard legends for your desktop - everything you need to get comfortable with your Apple device.
