Following the recent launch of the much-awaited Apple iPad mini, tablet users and non-users alike will now have to make a decision on whether or not to buy one. Although the price of the iPad mini might be a deciding factor for some, there is bound to be some confusion in deciding whether to buy an iPad mini, Google nexus 7, Blackberry Playbook, Kindle fire HD or the upcoming Microsoft Surface even if it is just as a Christmas or birthday present for someone special.
Whilst we cannot be certain of this, Apple’s latest 7.9-inch tablet is on collision course with potential new customers who might be lured by other smaller tablets. This is particularly because the average Apple customer is likely to already own either an iPod, iPhone, iPad or indeed, a combination of all three.

Price tag of $329 makes iPad Mini really expensive compare to other 7″ tablets. On the flip side, iPad Mini beats those mini tablets with rich display, 4G and iSight camera. And as being Apple fanboy, I would definitely go with iPad Mini.

Here you will be able to see the distinct difference of features among the Apple iPad Mini, Google Nexus 7, and Kindle Fire HD. Why specifically these three you ask? Because these three choices are what confuses customers on which to choose or with which could work better for them. So you might be able to clarify here which would suit best to your needs.

I think, even though they are similar in size, the iPad mini and Nexus 7 is different in terms of their class. They both have their own respective target market. The iPad Mini is great but expensive, meanwhile the Nexus 7 is way cheaper but at the expense of some cool specs.

I would like to go with Nexus 7. you would have to be a fool to buy the ipad mini at this point. You get a lower resolution tablet and priced almost 50% more than the competition. The Nexus 7 will also be available with 32 gig, and the rumored price is still around $249. You can’t beat that.

Asus nexus 7 is superior in my opinion, because the nexus superior in terms of hardware and price.
