I can't believe how many people are still comparing the Nexus 7 with the iPad Mini in things like processor speed, memory, storage and the likes and how the Nexus 7 or Kindle or whatever your favorite 7" tablet is cheaper but NOT talking about the DIFFERENCE in the SIZE of the screen whereas the iPad Mini has a 7.9" screen and the Nexus a 7" screen (a 35% difference) That to me is the factor that makes me want to buy the iPad Mini right away. I'm an avid magazine reader, both the interactive ones and the regular .pdf ones. I found my iPad 3 to be just to heavy to keep reading a magazine as I would with a paper magazine and one month ago I started to look for alternatives. The Android 10.1 tablets were a good alternative (specially the ultra thin Toshiba Excite 10 LE) but nevertheless I always wanted a smaller tablet that I can hold just with one hand. Then I looked at the 7" tablets like the Kindle or the Galaxy Tab 2 7" but found the screen a bit small and the way they showed the magazines or the .pdfs a little weird always keeping blank spaces in the screen unusable.
So the iPad Mini came as a wonderful solution FOR THE MOMENT. The moment they make the iPad 13" X.000 just as thin and light as a single paper sheet I will buy it but as of today the iPad Mini is the only device that gives me the portability, weight and thinness as the 7" tablets with MORE display space.
