I think that your statement that the two tablets are «fairly close» is
contradicted by the specs that you yourself list; for
example, RAM in the Nexus is four times that of the miniPad, processing speed in the Nexus is 1.5 times that of the miniPad, the pixel density is almost double in the Nexus, and in the WiFi models there is no GPS in the miniPad, not to
mention the cost difference.
