New iPad Mini vs Nexus 7

Apple is growing concerned over Android tablets' momentum. How do I know? Today, the company's senior vice president of marketing, Phil Schiller, spent a fairly unusual amount of time talking about them.
During the iPad Mini announcement this morning, Schiller got in quite the zinger when he said that "others have tried to make tablets smaller than the iPad, and they've failed." What's more, he claimed that there is a "gigantic difference" between the iPad Mini and Nexus 7 before leveling a number of charges against the Android device. I'll admit that some of them may have been deserved, but let's take a look at a few of them to see if they hold water.

To balance things out a bit, I'll discuss a few things that were not said today that are important when deciding on a new tablet. The stuff that wasn't said is just as important, right?
The iPad Mini's 7.9-inch display vs. the Nexus 7's 7-inch display
Schiller was quick to suggest that there's a huge difference when you tack on that 9/10th of an inch. Sure, when factoring in the total viewable screen, the iPad Mini has 29.6 inches of space where the Nexus 7 has 21.9 inches. But is that really a big deal? Though Schiller says yes, let's take his logic and apply it elsewhere.


I'd be curious to hear what he thinks of the difference between the iPhone 5's 4-inch screen and, say, the 4.8-inch display on Samsung's Galaxy S3. And what about the even larger Galaxy Note 2? Would those differences not be considered gigantic, too? Also, while some might argue that it's resolution that really matters, the iPad Mini's 1,024x768-pixel resolution doesn't quite stand up to the Nexus 7's 1,280x800-pixel screen.

The iPad Mini offers 49 percent more Web browsing space than the Nexus
Again, it's difficult to argue with real numbers, but opinions are another matter. I have my own, but I don't claim that they're infallible. So when Schiller showed the Guggenheim Museum Web site, it was clear that the iPad Mini offers more space. But I don't buy Schiller's claim that the open tabs at the top of Chrome and buttons do not matter to the browsing experience.
I happen to love being able to hop from one open tab to another. The soft keys across the bottom come in very handy when going back or jumping to another Android app. Yes, it's true that they don't specifically factor into the Web experience, but many Android users like them. And their opinion isn't wrong because Apple says so.
Android tablet apps are inferior to iPad titles
This one could be argued on both sides. I'll admit that Android tablet apps could still use some polish. Generally iOS apps are of higher quality and usually look better than their Android counterparts. On the other hand, many Android apps have been written for Android 4.0 and later, most of which employ the Holo aesthetic.
Also, while I'm being honest, Android developers do not have to write for tablets now that we've gone back to unifying the platform at Ice Cream Sandwich. Apps can revert to scaling on a larger display, yes, but that's only if the developer doesn't write them to perform differently. Should developers take advantage of the tools at their disposal, they can write one app that operates and displays differently across many sizes. To me, this sounds better than writing one for phones and another for tablets.
