But the 99p ones don't quite exquisitely stimulate your ear drums like the Apple ones do, Dave. ;)Quote:

Biggest hangup for all tablets for me is the lack of 'built in' or 'standard' external keyboard.
Trying to work on a citrix session is a nightmare!
I submit that no tablet is going to give you a good experience in that regard.
The Surface advert is awful!
It seems so : Surface disk space | Surface storage | Available disk space on Microsoft Surface
Disk space? Disk?
My iPhone is 32Gb and has 28Gb for storage, which isn't too bad.
I handled one today (set my colleague's language to Korean :andrea: )...
felt OK, but I haven't handled a Nexus yet :p
Prizefight: Apple iPad Mini vs. Google Nexus 7 | Prizefight - CNET
No surprises there with the Nexus 7 winning, especially considering how Cnet has been biased towards Apple in the past. :D
It's pretty equal in a lot of areas for the two tablets, but with the better OS, display and price point being the deciding factors in favor of the Nexus 7. Throw in an additional NFC bonus, and it's no longer a competition IMO, especially seeing how you can share data with other phones and tablets in a matter of seconds via NFC.
Still don't understand why Apple keeps holding back on such key features, and can still justify their ridiculous price premium. Most probably their marketing department is waiting to rename NFC for their next device. It's probably gonna be called "Apple file transfer revolution" or "iTouch me tender" or "iBackside transfer" or some crap like that.
Nexus 7, Kindle Fire HD 'outperform' iPad Mini display | Apple - CNET News
Display comparo for the three major players in the 7 inch tablet market.
Also interesting is this bit from Techradar's largely favorable review of the iPad mini:
While for a lot of people $130 extra may not seem as much, and a lot will pay willingly, because hey, it's Apple after all, for a lot of other folks money does matter.Quote:

The lack of a Retina display is so, so frustrating as that's the killer feature (along with, perhaps, a slightly faster processor) that would have meant we gave the iPad mini our first five star tablet review. It's that good. But the screen is too fuzzy at times compared to the likes of the new iPad or iPhone 5 to consider it a dazzling display, and that's a real shame.
The low-power GPU is also sadly lacking, even for the price point, and while we've long given up on looking for expandable storage or a removable battery on these devices, 16GB of storage isn't enough for the plethora of large apps and HD content we're interested in downloading onto this device.
I'm not in the market to buy a tablet, but if I really wanted to be lazy on the couch and browse through the exciting lives of show-offs on Facebook, any of the 7 inch tablets will do the job perfectly. I would probably add in $70 extra to the price of one iPad mini and get two Nexus 7s, one for my wife as well. ;)
