With the iPad, I found the screen size to be just right for what I wanted. I was kind of surprised at how "perfect" it felt when I tried it.



I just don't care to do that with my handheld devices. Whatever I get I end up sticking with the stock OS and want the smoothest, most reliable experience possible with lots of app support. I don't think anything will stop me from using Android phones, but at least when it came to the small tablets I found the Mini to be everything I wanted in a small tablet.

I think if I was comparing Nexus 10 vs. iPad 4 it might be a different story.

I'm not particularly a fan of Apple, but when one of their devices suits my needs I will give it a try. I'm not too happy about spending $459 on the 16GB Wifi + 4G but whatever. I liked it $160 more than the Nexus 7. Which I still might end up getting too.
