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.
The article you linked notes the improved stability of the Android OS, specifically Jelly Bean, on the Nexus. And this isn't a comparison of which can do more. It's a comparison of what can do the same as the other, for less money. The only way the iPad Mini's higher price could be justified is if it came with Retina display. But it doesn't. It comes with the same features as a Nexus 7.

If it's a choice between something I can count on for $330 or something I can't for $200, I'll pick the one I can count on every time. You get what you pay for.

you get what you pay for? you do realize that youre buying the name when you pay for an apple product right?

how can you not count on an android product? have you seen the specs between the two tablets?

While Apple does charge out the ***, most of their products offer cutting-edge hardware.

I'm not an Apple fan (at all), but their latest iMac and Macbook Pros are very impressive.
