Long time Apple product buyer, but I'm getting the Nexus 7 when the LTE version comes out. I see most of the same apps available that I currently use on my iPad 7 & iPhone.
I might get an Android phone too, but I'll be sticking with OS X for the time being. Not giving up on Apple at all, it's just that the Nexus 7 looks like just what I'm wanting. Why wait?
Yes, I use both a Nexus 7 and an iPad Mini. I have most of the same apps on both platforms but the iOS versions win because too many time, the Android versions are just scaled up phone versions with no tablet version, like on iOS.
I've been using a Nexus 7 since February and an iPad Mini since June. If I had bought the mini before the Nexus 7, I never would have bought the Nexus 7 at the time. It's all about the apps and to me, the apps clearly win on iOS.
Even simple things in apps using Netflix as an example make iOS a win. Netflix auto plays the next episode in a TV season, doesn't do that on Android.
My local news app lets me watch their live newscast using the app. Can't do that on the android version. Have to go to the website to watch the news.
I've been seriously enjoying this iPad Mini, and buying it in June has allowed me to have so much fun with this. Doesn't matter that it's not retina. It's still so colorful and crisp and I've had two months to use it while others are arguing about waiting on retina displays.
