No one got round to mentioning the quite bizarre thing about the iPad Mini and iTunes.
Well iTunes offers HD content in either 720p or 1080p so whilst it would play 720p fine on the Nexus but for the DRM, it has to be compressed for the Mini. A rather strange choice considering the maturity of the market. |

It seems that people are very happy with their iPad mini, must be very annoying for you

It also offers SD content and at a lower price, so I don't understand the issue, surely you buy what is appropriate for your device?

The Nexus 7 strangely seems more appropriately designed for that iTunes ecosystem. |

I've bought HD content for my mini and even though it downscales it still looks nice and is an improvement over SD.
I find the iPad mini a very good piece of kit and have never once had a problem with resolution or watching movies/tv. |

They're all extremely similar.
Personally I wouldn't get an ipad mini right now as they're bound to put a better screen on it at the first update (probably september). |

I often find that specs on paper are different to real life performance.....
The Galaxy S3 is heavily colour saturated which people like in that it helps as an allrounder. It's not that accurate but vibrant and thus well viewable. Samsung seem to do similar with their PLS IPS type screens on their phones and tablets. Plus that 15% extra brightness and near 30% easier viewing at an angle obviously helps when out and about. I can't help think that they did they maybe did it for a practical reason. |
