Besides resolution, processor, etc., my device "has" to have a a microSD slot. That's why I settled on the original Nook Color about 15 months ago. At that moment in time it seemed to be the best device for me.
(Although I plead guilty to buying a non-expandable Touchpad when HP had its fire sale late last year. The price was too good to pass up. It's a nice backup device, especially when reading at home.)
At this point, if I were to replace the Nook today, I would probably get another Nook or the Nexus. I got the Nook because, thanks to the memory slot, I am able to have a dual boot set up. Which allows for greater flexibility, at least as far as my wants go. I realize that most people probably have no interest in messing around with their tech.
The Apple mini just seems overpriced for what one gets specs-wise. Apple has always seemed overpriced to me, ever since I considered getting a desktop and compared the specs to Windows/Linux PCs.
I am not knocking people who prefer Apple products. At this point, they are still just not for me.
I think people should investigate what is out there, if possible actually handle devices, and try to decide what works best for them, regardless of manufacturer/platform.
