The iPad mini sports a 7.9-inch screen and lighter, slimmer design than its big bro -- desirable traits for sure. But how does it compare to the other popular 7-inch slates? Here I pit it against Google's Nexus 7 and Amazon's Kindle Fire HD in a tiddly tablet tumble.
Design
At 200mm long and 135mm wide, the iPad mini is considerably smaller than its 9.7-inch bigger brother. When you compare it to the Nexus however, it doesn't seem quite as tiny. The Nexus is almost the same length as the mini but it's only 120mm wide, making it somewhat easier to slip into a pocket.
The Fire HD meanwhile shaves a few millimetres off the mini's length but adds a couple on to the width. There's not much between the two really but I doubt you'd slide either into your jeans. At only 7.2mm thick, the mini casually beats both the Nexus 7's 10mm and Fire HD's 10.3mm thicknesses.
Both the Nexus 7 and Fire HD are encased in a black plastic shell, whereas the iPad mini offers an all-metal design that looks like a cross between the new iPod Touch and iPhone 5. It's certainly got a more attractive and premium look to it and hopefully that unibody design will make it far more hard wearing too.
Even with the metal body, the mini manages to be only 310g. The Nexus 7 weighs in at 340g while the Kindle Fire HD comes in at 390g, making the iPad the lightest of the three.
Screen
At 7.9-inches, the mini has the biggest screen of the three. It's a chunk bigger than the 7-inch displays of the other two but as it has a much smaller bezel, it doesn't bulk out the chassis more than it needs to.
The larger display does not unfortunately translate into a higher screen resolution, which at only 1,024x768-pixels, makes it less impressive than the 1,280x800-pixels found on both the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD. Whether you'd really notice that difference side by side is debatable but if you're looking for the best resolution, the iPad isn't the one to go for.
Apple has a good history of crafting screens that are delightfully bold and colourful. I haven't been able to get a proper eyes on with the slate yet, but early reports are good. I found the screen on the Nexus 7 to be adequate, but not mind-blowing in terms of colour, so the iPad has a decent chance of beating it.
Software
The mini is running on the latest version of Apple's mobile software iOS 6. It's a much more stripped down offering than Android Jelly Bean found on the Nexus 7, which makes it easy for beginners, technophobes, children and even cats to get to grips with it.
It's the same software you'd find on any other iPad or iPhone (assuming they've been updated) so if you've got an iPhone 5 already, you'll be familiar immediately with the interface. It brings deeper Twitter and Facebook integration than previously offered, as well as the voice assistant Siri.
The Nexus meanwhile is running on the latest version of Android, which allows you to put apps and widgets on the various homescreens so you can see live information without needing to open individual apps. The ability to place widgets is one of the main things that Android users lord over Apple fans, as iOS devices only allow for normal grids of apps on its homescreens.
Jelly Bean also brings Google Now, the service that aims to learn from your actions to bring you information before you've even had to search for it. I found it to be pretty useful once I'd synced all my Google accounts, as it was able to warn me in advance of public transport delays while I was on my way to a meeting it knew about.
It's also able to bring up quick map directions from typed or spoken queries, such as "where's the nearest pub?" Apple's new maps software on iOS 6 has taken a considerable amount of heat since its launch as it offers nowhere near the same level of details as Google's maps. Although Apple is working hard on updating its service, it's still not a patch on Google's.
Amazon's Kindle Fire HD meanwhile is an interesting beast. Its software is based on Android at its core, but it's not a true Android device so offers a totally new interface. It's very much geared towards using only Amazon's services for ebooks, movies and music.
It also means that it doesn't have access to the full Google Play store and the official Google apps. You can connect your Gmail account for email but that's about it. Amazon claims it's got "tens of thousands" of apps for the Fire HD which probably covers most of the essentials you'd need but it pales in comparison to the hundreds of thousands offered by Google and Apple.
If you're obsessed with having the latest version of your chosen operating system and love engaging in conversations about the latest apps, games and services on your device, then the Kindle Fire probably isn't going to suit you best.
The Kindle Fire HD will be in our hands very soon for a comprehensive tear down, so stay tuned for the final verdict on this chap.
Power
Inside the iPad mini's slim new shell is Apple's A5 processor found on the iPad 2. Considering that since launching the A5 chip, Apple has since released the A5X, A6 and -- as of last night -- the super-charged A6X processors, you'd be forgiven for finding this old chip a little underwhelming. It's unlikely to be sluggish -- after all, the iPad 2 was hardly slow -- but it won't handle demanding tasks like recording multi-layer songs in GarageBand or similar with quite the same gusto as the new iPad.
The Nexus 7 however packs in Nvidia's quad-core Tegra 3 processor. I found it to be extremely powerful and easily capable of handling the essentials such as web browsing and social networking, as well as flying through photo editing and demanding 3D games like Riptide GP. Its performance was well above what even more expensive Android slates were able to achieve, so I was very impressed given the low price.
The Kindle Fire HD meanwhile uses a 1.5GHz dual core processor which isn't exactly what you'd call burly. Still, the stripped back interface is less power-hungry so it shouldn't be lacking too much in the power stakes. It's unlikely to tackle the really demanding tasks as well, but with a much more restricted app store, those options aren't really available to it anyway. The most you're likely to ask of the Fire HD is to play some Fruit Ninja, which it should cope with fine.
Connectivity
The iPad mini is set to be the first of Apple's tablets to run on EE's new super-fast 4G network. It'll allow you to download stuff when you're out and about much faster than you could previously do on 3G, although you will be paying quite a premium for the privilege. You can still use it with a regular 3G SIM card too though, giving you access to maps, and web-based services like Spotify when you're away from a Wi-Fi network.
Neither the Nexus 7 or Kindle Fire HD offer 3G or 4G connectivity so you'll be relying completely on your home connection, or mobile hotspots when you're out and about. For the most part, that's not likely to be much of a problem -- especially if you have a smart phone -- but it does limit the usefulness of services like Google Now.
Price
The Nexus 7 rewrote the tablet pricing rule book when it offered high-end features for the bargain basement price of £160. It helped that the base model only came with 8GB of storage but even the 16GB model was only £200.
The Kindle Fire HD is similarly low priced, starting at £159 -- although annoyingly it's ad-supported -- and going up to £210 for 32GB of storage without ads.
Apple broke a few hearts when it announced that the iPad mini would start at £269 for the 16GB model, putting an end to the fanciful rumour that it would cost £200. Fully detailed price lists aren't available yet, but if you want a 64GB model with 3G and 4G connectivity then don't expect much change from £400.
Conclusion
The iPad mini might not have quite as sharp a screen as its competitors and its processor might be a few generations old, but its slim, lightweight and stylish design help it win some points.
Whether you prefer Android or iOS is a matter of personal choice, but there's no denying that each camp has its benefits. The simplicity of iOS will work well for some, while others will appreciate the customisability of Android. Amazon's Kindle meanwhile might appeal to those of you who just want to gorge on media.
The mini's high asking price might be a bit much for some, but that's unlikely to stop it selling by the boatload. If you're already an Android user then the Nexus 7 offers a lot of features to be excited about.
It's too early to make a definitive call on which tablet offers the most pleasant experience. When we've given all three the full review treatment we'll be updating this piece with more information.

The real deciding factor here for me is the software available to each device. I've owned both iOS and Android devices (including the N7) however the quality of software available in the Apple Appstore sways the decision for me. While the Play store may well be catching up in terms of numbers of apps available the quality of said apps is on average much worse.
Alot of people argue that Android devices are on the whole cheaper and more powerful than their Apple counterparts and this is true. All that power counts for nothing though when apps are not optimisefor the devices or even in many cases unavailable for them. The frustration I have endured from not being able to access many apps (PvZ being a prime example) on my Galaxy Note has really alienated me as an Android user. At the time of buying my phone it was one of the best on the market yet I couldn't play apps that my wife played on her Wildfire :o/
So when i come to buy a new tablet next month the question I will be asking myself is, am I willing to pay a premium for access to the software I want or do i want a cheaper tablet that severely limits what I can use on it? For me there is no real problem making this decision, the software I use is more important than the logo on the case so until the Play store overtakes the Appstore then I'm backing Apple.
gAs for the Kindle Fire with its madssively limited store, don't waste my time.

OMG, you are seriously discounting Android because you couldn't play the game plants versus zombies!
Can CNET stop taking comments from 13 year olds please?
anonymous 24 October, 2012 18:13
ipad mini for me.
the design is classy, the processor is very efficient unlike the nexus 7 which needs a quad core processor to deliver decent speed and the software is just so simple to use.
the price is irritating but was expected.
overall, I think it's worth to pay the premium.
anonymous 24 October, 2012 18:13
Brilliant counter argument, that was one example of many. I purposely used PVZ as an example as it is almost as synonymous with mobile gaming as Angry Birds (which is available on the Note).
The only problem with CNET blocking 13 year olds is that you then wouldn't be able to take things out of context and post ridiculous comments.
Fragmentation is a huge problem for the Android OS, couple that with the already poorer selection of quality apps and it is not hard to see why my preference is iOS.
anonymous 24 October, 2012 18:34
The 7 inch form factor is really for content tablets in my view. The IPad mini is too expensive and too big. It may even take more sales away from the actual IPad. The whole point is manufacturers make a loss on the hardware and make up for it in the content they sell. The more locked down, the more money they will make. The IPad mini will just be seen as an IPad for people who can't afford the real thing. It doesn't really compete with either the Amazon Kindle Fire or the Google Nexus 7.
anonymous 24 October, 2012 18:43
To the normal bloke on the street ALL tablets are considered cheap knock off iPads. I work in a national electronics store and multiple times a day I have to explain that Android tablets are an alternative to iPads and not just the Hong Kong versions.
Also Google should stop advertising the Nexus as 7 inches, you lose way too much space with those stupid software home buttons.

Nexus 7, it to me is a clear winer (although no 4G i just use it in the house any way). people i know think im getting a mini just because i own a Macbook Pro but i prefer android for my portable devices, so all in all Nexus 7 is my favorite and as for the fire i hate the power, ads and os so it's ont for me :D

"Also Google should stop advertising the Nexus as 7 inches, you lose way too much space with those stupid software home buttons."
The comparison between the Nexus 7 and Mini, demonstrated very clearly that the Nexus has far less displayed screen area.
Apart from having 35% more screen area (more than a third extra), the Mini also will show 49% more of a web page in portrait view and 67% more in landscape, than the Nexus with its relatively tiny viewing area.
Those tabs don't help at all either.
anonymous 24 October, 2012 19:45
I was going to get a Nexus 7 after reading the reviews and comments, but when I went to have a look at one, with a view to buying, I decided it just wasn't up to scratch.
Apart from feeling a bit cheap, I wasn't impressed with the restricted screen size and I thought the display was a bit dim. It certainly wasn't what I was lead to believe.
I then looked at the iPad 3 and thought I'd wait to see what the rumoured Mini would be like. I'm glad I waited, although I think the price is a bit steep. Still better to have something that works and feels like it's worth the money, than buy something I'm not happy with.

I already have an Ipad2 and looking for something portable. The first comment above has a very good point about apps. The Ipad mini price is higher than I would have liked but I may still buy it knowing that the apps are more compatible.

The first poster is right.
Kindle Fire HD, forget it. Having a restricted OS and ecosystem and having adverts pushed onto your screen all the time.... WTF?????
The Apple ecosystem and App store swings it for me. Although the Play Store is catching up, it's a long way behind; plus it's a minefield of dodgy apps and malware.
all the tech spec. in the world is of no use if ther's nothing useful you can do with your tablet.

I, personally would most likely go for the Nexus 7. The only down side I can see with the Nexus 7, is that you can't you it with a 3G/4G sim card like the iPad Mini. I plan to get a Samsung Galaxy S3, so it's not a major issue for me. ;-)

I've never really understood what all this debate and getting melodramatic about iOS vs Android is about.
For goodness sake if you want a Nexus, get a Nexus, if you want an iPad get an iPad, and stop throwing a tantrum and getting offended if someone else's opinion is different to yours. Its not that big a deal. Far too many people with far too much time on their hands :-S
anonymous 25 October, 2012 09:11
Here we go again. Sigh. There are plenty of apps that are optimised for the N7. You do not need to create a separate app in order to optimise any app for multiple devices.
Also, rumours of a new N7 range have been about since early September, not Google's fault that some people didn't wait.
anonymous 25 October, 2012 09:51
My teenage daughter said they were all talking about the iPad Mini on the college bus yesterday morning. There was quite a Buzz about it apparently.
I don't think there's been anything similar for other mini tablets. Most of them have probably never heard of the Nexus 7 or Samsung Tab 7.
Anyone interested in getting this new iPad had better be quick if they want one before Christmas.
anonymous 25 October, 2012 10:06
Because the brand sells, it's just that simple. It has been the same since the iPod was released. There were always better options and cheaper options, there were always issues with the devices themselves that fans happily overlooked whilst neutrals looked on in amazement.
That's brand loyalty for you. Easier to be told what to buy than to make an informed decision.

Come on...although you can't necessarily notice the difference between 250 PPI and 300 PPI there's a noticeable difference here; 216 vs 163; you WILL notice that. At the key note the Apple guy kept going on about '35% more screen space'...all I could think was '35% less resolution'...
The iPad looks blocky and fuzzy compared with today's high res screens. We didn't know we wanted i tuntil the high res phones all came out, but now we've got it iot's hard to go back. 216PPI is OKish especially on such a cheap device as the Nexus, but 163PPI on a device costing nearly £300 is way off the mark.
anonymous 25 October, 2012 10:27
'Apple has a good history of crafting screens that are delightfully bold and colourful.'
Last time I checked, Apple doesn't craft screens, it uses screens made by mainly LG and Samsung (until recently). I doubt the 'colour' difference is a genuine one, it's just a way for an Apple obsessed media to get one over other tabs with an untangible benefit that nobody can really argue with or measure.

Such a one sided, biased comparison. The software buttons aren't always there so it's unfair to consider the space they take up, as the often don't take up any space; they only appear when you need them. Also, 35% extra? Do the maths, I have. That's WAY wrong. Also, watch a movie on both...you see more on the Nexus as the iPad is a stupid shape!

So companies should never update anything, so that people don't feel bad about having 'old' kit? That's ridiculous. Of course they can't release their entire update schedule; Apple certainly don't! The iPad 3 lasted about 6 months before being replaced. If you really want to stay on top of things, you need to read tech blogs all the time and get the news early, that way you never buy anything just about to be replaced.

@anonymous 25 October, 2012 10:06
An excellent comment and it indeed is; that simple. I personally favour the Nexus 7, not because I have any personal sentiments or "fandom" towards Android, but because I require software that allows deeper customisation and tweaking. I have used iOS extensively (developing apps for both OSs) and I find it far too restrictive for my needs. This restriction works for Apple because it allows the average user to not feel overwhelmed by the amount of customisation available. Furthermore, you cannot deny the fact that the Nexus 7 has a much better processor, than the iPad mini, for £100 less!
anonymous 25 October, 2012 13:22
Anonymous at 11:08. Thanks.
For me its the price thing that has always put me off Apple products. Its just incredible. I had a few techie finds growing up as well so was always exposed to the truths about Apple products. Until very recently Apple products were largely fashion items, with a few people needing the superior design or music software available. But why does someone need a MacBook pro for writing essays on a humanities degree at uni? Yet it happens. And people will pay more than £300 for a 32gb tablet when the Google equivalent costs £200. Why? You can bet their reasons will be more of these myths about apps, malware (just like the weak arguments for Mac over Windows), and optimisation/fragmentation. But the truth is its all about the brand.
I'm the first to admit that I wish the N7 used a SuperAMOLED screen, although videos and photos are fine. But come on, its a £160-£200 device that has far better spec then anything else in he market.
I also think that reading a lot of comments you rarely see anything other than bias, ignorance, and general nonsense.

Hi...
It does seem that a few have not mentioned other things the mini comes with,a half decent camera for starters..!
anonymous 25 October, 2012 14:30
Why is a rear facing camera necessary though? If you've got a smartphone you can just as easily take a photo with it and have it uploaded and available to your tablet in less than a minute. It's hardly essential. You pay more for the tablet to have a camera that will more than likely be of lower quality than the one on your phone. That kind of thing boggles the mind. The camera is a pretty tenuous reason to pick the iPad mini over the Nexus 7.
anonymous 25 October, 2012 14:46
I find it incredibly sad that a brand has "fans".
I'm not anti Apple, I'm simply anti being ripped off, which is what Apple has succeeded in doing to their customers since the first ipod was launched.
There are equally good or better products available at less cost than every Apple product on the market.
Of course, given their marketing budget and influence with certain websites (ahem) they ensure the masses continue to follow blindly.
As for this, given it's priced so poorly I doubt they'll sell too many. If you are an Apple "fan" why would you buy this as opposed to saving/spening an extra $100 on an iPad? I think Apple have got this very wrong indeed.
anonymous 25 October, 2012 15:02
I agree on the camera issue. People who let something like a camera decide that the iPad mini is worth the extra money over the N7 is ridiculous, that's what your smartphone is for. I personally prefer the customisation available on the N7 as well as the price, but I don't see the need to buy into a brand solely for the weight it carries.

So these people are gonna buy a ipad mini over the nexus 7 because it looks good but if you look at what you get for your money nexus 7 is the better option by far in my opinion.
Don't forget its a tablet not a pc or laptop its to read books check emails browse the web and play some games etc, these devices make life a bit simpler and less boring, don't waste to much money on these yet delightful but nearly unnecessary items we are so lucky too enjoy!
anonymous 26 October, 2012 02:19
People have their own reasons for their preferences and choices. Just because their reasons or their choices don't tally with yours does not make them wrong, neither does it make them stupid.
Personally I will be buying the iPad mini. Yes the Nexus 7 is technically superior. Yes the iPad mini is grossly over-priced. However, I use an iPhone and I have a invested a lot in apps, my music is on iTunes, I have books in iBooks, so I want an iOS device. That's a perfectly valid reason for my choice.
For those who say I'd be better off with a full-sized iPad, no I wouldn't. I've never wanted a tablet before because they're just too damned big; I don't want to carry something the size of a dinner plate with me, I may as well just bring my laptop. The advent of these smaller tablets is the only reason I'm now interested in a tablet at all.
So iPad mini it is for me. If you prefer a Nexus, that's fine, it's technically superior and I get that. Just stop insulting people for having a personal preference or a reason for their choices.
anonymous 26 October, 2012 07:42
The Nexus may have slightly higher hardware spec, but will anyone but tech heads who are obsessed with spec care or give a damn?
Who will notice the slightly better screen resolution (early reports are saying the mini screen is very good), or the quad core processor when comparing them.
What they will notice is the stylish, thin and light design and the screen size. They will know the iPad is the best full size tablet and if they didn't already have one, will most probably hankered after one.
Theonly question is price. They'll either see it as a smaller bargain priced iPad, or go for what they'll think of a a cheap alternative.

I'm absolutely amazed that anyone seriously thinks that Android is difficult to use. I really am noticing this a lot, but the majority of criticisms aimed at Android are all based on complete myths that anyone that has spent 5 minutes with an Android device, especially a Nexus device, would know to be untrue.
As for the fragmentation thing. Do half the people complaining about it even understand what the implications for it are? It's not different from the fragmentation in iOS devices.
Every day just more and more out dated, ignorant myths being used to complain about devices people clearly have never used.
anonymous 26 October, 2012 11:44
"Every day just more and more out dated, ignorant myths being used to complain about devices people clearly have never used."
This is true of both sides of the argument. iOS users complaining about Android because they tried it in its earlier incarnations when it really was bad, and similarly Android users complaining about iOS when they haven't used it since its first or second generation.
In their modern versions, both Android and iOS are good, but people tend to like what they're used to and shun anything unfamiliar.
anonymous 26 October, 2012 14:01
Sounds like Apple are wanting to throw themselves in the ring of the the smaller screen (quite why they didn't do this before is a little bewildering). Whats the likelihood that if Google or Amazon decide to change their design Apple will be whipping them into the nearest courthouse?
