Oh, retina display is a joke and its used to fool Apple users. Compare your Crapple tablet against any other tablet. Some tablets look better than the Ipad.

Yeah. In some cases Apples 'retina' display is usually worse PPI than other non retina devices. ZDNET really crazy if they think the Nexus 7 won't sell because of a retina iPad mini.

Yup. It makes me want to go up to every Apple user and prove them wrong on their devices. LOL, Would that be a bad thing to do though?
I wouldn't care if you did, since I have had Apple lovers come up to me and tell me how much 'better' and 'cooler' they are than me, since they have an iProduct.

That has to be the most retarded article ever, potential Nexus buyers, does not care for overpriced crap like iPad mini lane of products, for 2.5x the price and inferior performance wise product as well.
Exactly. The iPad mini is the frozen turkey here. Overpriced, overhyped, and with a heaping cup of staleness. That describes a frozen turkey and the iPad mini.

Actually at the time Apple did that, nobody else had a smart phone with that screen like that. It was the best smart phone screen and it took other OEMS around a year to catch up.
Now for the last 2 years OEMs have matched and surpass Apple in that regard.
Of course, the term retina is just a marketing strategy to attract buyers. In actual fact, most devices have roughly the same display at least to me.

I still think iPads in general are in another league when it comes to tablets. They have some really awesome apps, especially, wait for this, speciality productivity apps. There is no comparison really. it?s night and day. I still have problems finding suitable equivalents for some of the apps I have on my iPhone or had on my iPad (now sold). That said, if you are just looking for something to laze around the house and play with and you not invested in Apple?s ecosystem the Nexus is a perfect device. I love and enjoy my 1st Gen Nexus 7 more than my wife?s mini or my previous iPad 3rd Gen. I love messing around with Android, and I love its size. I simply love that device. But I can?t say it is better than the iPad because it takes a little more than killer specs to be the "better" device.

I just have to laugh at the different arguments Apple fans use to say their devices are always better. First it was the ease of use. Then Android destroyed that claim with ICS. Then it was ecosystem. But now with recent 4.1.2 and above, it's so smooth between devices and with much larger selections of accessories that no longer holds water. Then it was build quality. But HTC One came out with a device built every bit as good. Now it's app optimization. It never ends. It's just too much for an Apple fan to admit when Android has a better product.
When I saw the specs, the build, the screen, and the price of the iPad Mini, I thought to myself......"THIS will be the device that finally opens Apple Disciples eyes". How wrong I was. Clearly not even a physical punch in the mouth from Apple CEO's will open some people's eyes. I don't see the need of "Tablet Optimized Apps" on a 7" screen. Heck, some phones are quickly approaching that size! Just because the App doesn't have the word: "Tablet" next to it in the Play Store doesn't mean it's crap if I use it on my Note 10.1. Sure, it might look better if it was optimized, but it's not like it burns my eyes or doesn't function the way it is. Some people just refuse to get the most for their money and I guess that's what keeps life interesting.

I have an iPad 2 (wifi), and now a 2013 Nexus 7 (wifi)........and I will keep Both! They are different, for sure, in so many ways. Size of screen, size of unit, apps (type and quality), gps/or no gps, weight, screen quality/resolution, etc.
They compliment each other nicely, and I will not get into a debate about the "Mini"....I did not want the Mini because I wanted to try and use and have an android tablet....for the reasons above.

It's so funny to hear you say that because when the Note 10.1 was released last year with the best Productivity Apps available, but low end specs, Apple fans TRASHED IT like there was never anything worse. I remember people coming into those forums and going on and on about how crappy it was because of the screen and how the productivity apps mean nothing if you can't hardly run them due to the bad screen. But then Apple releases the iPad Mini and suddenly everything is the other way around. Now Apple is DOMINATING the Productivity Apps market with a 7" device? Who honestly tries to get lots of work done on a 7" form factor? In my eyes, a 7" tablet is ideal for travel or short bouts away from home when you'd rather not lug around your full size tablet or laptop. Sure, you can get a lot done with a 7" tablet but I don't think it should be the benchmark for measuring productivity possibilities.
the gps on the ipad mini does work though. just sayin
even phone apps on apple are better. when i compare most apps on my iphone 5 and my note 2 the iphone apps are usually better quality and contain better features

You?re playing with my words. And I agree with you, I don?t need to do most productive things on my tablet. THAT IS WHY i have a Nexus 7. We agree on that, but we don?t speak for the entire population of tablet using humans, and we cannot dictate what they need to do or not do on their tablets. That said, the iPad mini?s resolution absolutely sucks. I am not denying that, and it was probably the only reason for me not buying it. I am saying that there are really awesome 3rd party speciality apps that are not available on Android and are bonus for the iPad. They are of course as you know available on the normal 9.7 iPad as well. It is a benefit, the mini is not without it?s merits, which I attribute more the ecosystem than the device itself. I have a Nexus 7, I prefer my Nexus 7, I think it is a better device for my needs (save for the build quality) and I think the new Nexus 7 blows the mini out of the park with specs. But Android is still lacking in apps, and fit, finish and function of some current apps. But the Mini gets points for belonging to an undeniably good ecosystem.
Now some of this and of course most of this discussion boils down to personal preference.
Personally, I wish the Nexus 7 had the form factor of the iPad Mini! 8" size + high resolution + 4:3 screen ratio + Android = my dream tablet.

You're right. I can see your point. The Apple ecosystem is impressive if you're invested in it, but I have always looked at it slightly different. For me, I see it as a negative. I struggle to trust a company that only wants me to have a good experience if I hand them more and more money for only their products. There's a lot of cool benefits of that, but for me it actually has always kind of scared me away because I think it shows Apple's true interest. It has nothing to do with providing a good user experience like they say it does, it's all about making more money, and then in the process making it almost impossible to ever buy anything non-Apple. The perfect example is this iPad Mini. They develop and release a below par device with outdated everything, but they know people almost HAVE to buy it or their other investements in accessories are useless. So then they can overcharge for this device that is lacking in every single way EXCEPT that the user screws themself by going with the far superior Nexus due to the lack of accessories.
The ONLY app that I love on iOS that isn't on Android is the 3D Home Builder where you create blueprints and then you can design the house entirely. I wish Android had something like that but otherwise, i've never been let down by the apps available on Android. Even in comparison to Apple. Especially when I can get them for free and have basically the same experience as if I pay Apple $3 for it just because they tell me it's optimized for Tablets.
Apple gets $0.90 and the developer gets $2.10. And it is not Apple telling you that. They are just the channel. The developer is the one deciding to optimize for tablets. As a developer, I can tell you that there is real work in properly converting an app from a phone to a tablet. This attitude of not wanting to pay three lousy dollars to reward developers for their effort, is a real issue for Android developers. No wonder there are so few Android optimized apps for tablets. The money just isn't there. You likely spend more every day on Starbucks, and yet you begrudge developers what is basically chump change. Why?

I agree, even on Android I love paying for my apps, one; because the paid ones are usually better and later supported and two; they didn't create themselves. That's somebody's work. Apps are very cheap s Dev has to sell a lot to make it, I say we users support them.
