We switch places, it seems! I endured the Apple limitations for the past three years because the alternatives weren't attractive, but I finally feel that Android (and the apps) is at a point where it meets my needs. For me, there is now nothing offered by Apple that justifies the downsides of the walled garden or the premium prices.
I'd probably have considered a retina Mini, but there's still no release date for it, or really any actual information, so the money went to Google. (I'll keep my iPad 2 for a handful of apps, like SmartGo Kifu, but for every day use the Nexus 7.2 takes that place.) I also consider it a substantial benefit to be able to freely choose hardware in the future without losing access to apps that I paid for.
