How do you know if the iPad mini is a failure?

[badvillain]

so when it comes down to actual useful stuff you have to turn to the iPad?

isn't that an example of something the ipad can do that the Nexus cant?

I mean yes and no, the iPad market share is 70%. That means the majority of our tablet traffic comes from iPads, which results in me having to dedicate more time in making the iPad version extra crispy.

I think I'm going to get this keyboard/case for the nexus [the irony of it being pictured with the ipad]:

Once I get that I will keep both of them up and running at my desk during work hours, I'll get a chance to really evaluate both and which one is more practical in my everyday use.

But it's a give or take either way, i'll probably end up using both at the same damn time. iPad will probably be used for surfing the web with the 4:3 resolution, while i'll probably keep a movie/show playing on the nexus 16:10 screen, or rock out to the Google Music App

Normally when Apple launch a new device no matter how good it is the Apple fanboys will defend it tooth and nail. But I noticed something on the tech sites I visit such as Engadget, The Verge etc. People are openly criticizing the iPad mini. Other then a couple rebuttals by some its no real opposition to the hate its getting. But lets not kid are self Apple will sell millions of them to the uninformed iSheep.

Apple has turned into the Walmart of electronics for people how dont know much about them. Just how Sony was in the 80's and 90's.

its an iPad 2 with a smaller screen. how is it gonna be a failure? if there's a market for the iPad there's a market for this.
