This article sums it up well: against the Galaxy Nexus 7, the iPad Mini has:
LOWER screen density (163 ppi vs 216 (or 280 for Galaxy Note!)),
proprietary charging connector (prepare to buy new home, office, car charging cables),
no Google Maps,
iOS 5 Wifi problems,
No advantage expected on performance and battery life,
And for all this, costs $130 more.
Oh yeah, it's thinner and lighter than the Nexus 7. Apple is overly obsessed with thinness and lightness. Move on! Fix maps, fix Wifi, and get a display that's at least as good as your smartphone, not worse.
BlackBerry was so in love with things it did right (corporate email, physical keyboard) that they failed in innovate in other areas where they were falling down (very late to market with Wifi, higher camera resolutions).
Apple has the same exact problem. And where is BlackBerry now? In the poorhouse.
