I really don't know why so many people blindly follow Apple products. ESPECIALLY this iPad Mini. So let me get this straight: iPad Mini, 16gb, wifi only, will sell for $329. However, a Google Nexus 7, with the SAME FEATURES AS IPAD MINI, sells for $199. But just because the iPad has the "iPad" name on it, you'll spend close to double what you'd pay for a Nexus 7? Just because Apple says theirs is better and that you should buy it? Even putting their shady, lawsuit-happy antics with Samsung aside, why would/should you buy an iPad Mini over a Nexus 7? Because of iOS? Being locked out of doing anything outside of Apple's playpen OS versus the freedom of Android? I'll never understand it.

EDIT: Correction, I stated the wrong price earlier for the Nexus 7. I stated the price for the 8GB model, not the 16. The 16GB is $249.
