Apple's iPad mini has been announced , adding another contender into the competitive 7-inch tablet wars. As the consumer, you are spoilt for choice, making it difficult to decide which is most suitable for you.
To help you decide, we've put together the specs of the iPad mini compared with other popular 7-inch tablets currently in the market--the Google Nexus 7 , Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 and Amazon Kindle Fire HD . We've chosen the Galaxy Tab 7.7 instead of the newer Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 for this comparison, because the former is more comparable with the iPad mini in terms of screen size and price. Specs iPad mini Wi-Fi Nexus 7 Galaxy Tab 7.7 Kindle Fire HD Processor Apple A5 (dual-core) Nvidia Tegra 3 (quad-core) Samsung Exynos 4210 (dual-core) samsung j700 TI OMAP 4470 (dual-core) Operating system iOS 6 Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (with update) Custom Android Storage 16/32/64GB onboard storage, non-expandable 8/16GB onboard storage, non-expandable 16GB onboard storage, expandable via a microSD slot 16/32GB onboard storage, non-expandable RAM TBC 1GB 1GB 1GB Camera 5-megapixel iSight camera, 1.2-megapixel FaceTime camera 1.2-megapixel front-facing samsung j700 camera 3.2-megapixel rear camera, 2-megapixel front-facing camera 720p front-facing camera Screen 7.9-inch (1,024 x 768 pixels) IPS LCD 7-inch (1,280 samsung j700 x 800 pixels) IPS LCD 7.7-inch (1,280 x 800 pixels) Super AMOLED Plus 7-inch (1,280 x 800 pixels) IPS LCD GPS No Yes Yes No NFC No Yes No No Dimensions 200 x 134.7 x 7.2mm 198.5 x 120 x 10.5mm 196.7 x 133 x 7.9mm 193 x 137.2 x 10.2mm Weight 308g 340g 340g 567g Price US$329 (16GB), US$429 (32GB), US$529 (64GB) US$199 (8GB), US$249 (32GB) S$598 (US$490) US$199 (16GB), US$249 (32GB)
In terms of specifications, we think that the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD are the best options, as they have higher-resolution HD screens, so text, images and videos will appear sharper and more pleasing samsung j700 to the eye. Those on a budget will appreciate the lower starting prices of those two tablets.
Some geeks will also appreciate the appeal of Google's reference Android Jelly Bean tablet, which has impressive tech specs (for its price) such as an HD screen, and the inclusion of GPS and NFC. Note: Amazon content and Google Play Books, Videos and Music are not available in Asia, so these tablets may be more compelling for those living in the US.
Samsung's slate is the most expensive, but it's just around US$30 more than the iPad mini's cellular samsung j700 version of the same capacity. This gets you a better screen with a higher

resolution and pixel density, albeit with a lack of LTE capabilities. This may not be a dealbreaker if you're in Asia, where LTE networks are not as widely available yet.
In my opinion, samsung j700 the iPad mini is definitely out. Like my colleague samsung j700 Aloysius samsung j700 Low , I'll giving the iPad mini a miss due to the low-res screen, which doesn't justify its high price tag. However, there are many people out there who covet the sleek, aluminum looks of Apple's products, as well as those who have already purchased a lot of iOS apps. Our misgivings probably wouldn't samsung j700 stop them from standing in line for the mini tablet. samsung j700

Firstly, samsung j700 the weight of the 7" Kindle Fire HD is more like 395g instead of 567g. Secondly, I don't find it meaningful to compare the 7" android tablets with iPad mini (7.9") and Galaxy samsung j700 Tab 7.7". Comparing KF HD & Nexus 7 with Galaxy Tab 2 7" and Ainol Novo 7 models are fine. Doing an iPad mini review on it's own is also fine as there are no similar 7.9" tablet running iOS6 at this moment. As the saying goes "One man's meat is another man's poison". I don't believe in "one size fits all" either. It is also wise to stick to hardware comparisons only as software and user experience are very subjective. What is intuitive to a techie is unfriendly samsung j700 to a layman. Apple and Android users don't mix very well. The same goes for Microsoft

PC and iMac users. Posted by mis
