Its more like buying a car where the seats and steering column and such don't adjust enough, if at all.

For those of you talking about the HDMI-out:
I own the Playbook, which is a great product hardware wise, but everything software is a bunch of s*it. However, the HDMI port is friggin' amazing. I don't know the numbers, but this one feature has more than paid me back - I do a lot of travelling for my business, and staying in hotels and renting their over expensive movies was killing me. Now I just make sure I have a room with an HDTV and plug in my Playbook, can watch whatever I want for free.
I didn't know about this feature when I bought the Playbook, but knowing about it now, I'd basically demand that from any tablet I was going to buy in the future.

We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will yet swell the chorus when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

the only thing that's wrong with the nexus 7 is that they forgot (or something) to set the ability of the camera to be 720p. it's working at 480. the way to fix it is to unlock it and then add a few lines of code (the camera is capable of 720). its a really simple fix which is why google should fix it

Wow. At $329 this iPad Mini...really tough to make a case against it.
Edit: Actually, at 1042x768....why bother?

IT"S FROM APPLE
also, the nexus 7 at less than 2/3rds the cost has a quad core, mini has dual, and as you noted, has a better display
