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.
Looks like you haven't been doing your research. Read this. Android and the Nexus 7 have lots of issues... not the least of which is stability... but who cares about that, right?

I'm actually not a huge fan of Apple. I do have an iPhone and a iPad 1 but I own them because they are the most universally compatible mobile devices in the world. Why you Android fans refused to own up to the multitude of issues with the Android OSs over the years is beyond me.

It's just like the old Linux vs Windows debate. You can do WAY more with Linux than you can do with any version of Windows. So why isn't everyone using Linux? Because not everyone gives a rats about being able to tweak the crap out of their technology. Some people just want to pick it up and use it.

If you can't understand that, I'm not sure what to tell you.
