We have come a long way from the time when handheld devices that can be used for online conference or gaming at the go or using it for a purpose where high level of software utilization are the things that were available in only the “James Bond” or some science fiction movies. And with the ever advancement in the field of electronics and hardware like touchscreen features, or 3D/HD visibility we are living in the age that no men have thought possible even 15 years back and was seen as fantasy or maybe bizarre madness.

With the recent requirements of the mankind which asks for more features in their dream devices with better visibility, impressive looks and portability, the war rages on. With everyday updates of faster processors and better storage capability along with lightening speed connectivity to the internet there are technologies and devices that are adored as the ‘Apple of the eye’ where some are treated as tramp device. These features sometimes provide the “Nexus” between people and “Kindles fire” in the heart of generation whereas they just go cold in the market.

Whenever we need to choose between our dream gadgets we need to know more about them. Recently the buzz is going on between choosing the right one for us between the products of the Giants. Should we go for the evergreen Apple iPad mini, or will it be Amazon’s Kindlefire HD, or should the accolades go to Google’s Nexus 7? Let us find out who has a better chance of winning.

Amazon’s Kindlefire HD is the cheapest tab changed the concept that tabs are costly. With elegant looks, strong hardware and software support and cheaper on the pocket it has really changed the game for many. But the fact that hit this device is that its marketability outside US. The gadget comes with Android 4.1 platform and 7” touchscreen which looks gorgeous. It provides with a front facing camera of 1.3 megapixel resolution and comes with wider bezel to make the holding of the device easier without blocking the screen. It has been made slightly wider and longer albeit thinner than its earlier version and comes with physical button for power, and volume rockers. Though it is available with storage space of 16GB and 32GB the option for expandable memory is not present and nor do the power adopter and one has charge through the USB port unless one buys an adopter. In a nutshell, it is a value for money device with stronger battery life and enhanced Wi-Fi features but the less application available and slow-loading stores could be a hindrance.

The Google Nexus 7 on the other hand provides almost all the features similar to the Kindlefire but is slightly bulkier. It seems ASUS built the device for Google just to stomp out the Amazon superpower with a similar price rating in spite of providing more application set. This, device comes with amazing UI powered by Android 4.1 Jelly Beans and has a strong NFC support and quality hardware. But it has a lesser rated front facing camera of 1.2 megapixels. The fact that it loses out again is too weak IPS support and limited storage and sometimes it makes the reading experience a tad slower. It comes with a thinner bezel and provides three buttons similar to the Amazon’s device and also comes with 3.5mm jack and microphone support. Though the model is made up of plastic and glass it still gives the feeling of a premium device and doesn’t look cheap at all.

The headlines are though made by Apple’s new device “IPad mini. It is loaded with features and easily outsmart the above two device. The only backlog it could have is the pricing. The features are a bit advanced and the looks are more beautiful but it costs more than double than that of the other two. The aluminum back and super shiny glass in the front makes it look beautiful and it is the perfect device where one can hold it one hand and use it with another. It comes loaded with a 1.2 Megapixel front facing camera and 5 Megapixel camera at the back which can record HD videos as well. The screen size is 7.9” and gives 40% more viewing area when held in portrait mode and a whooping figure of 67% in the landscape mode. The screen icons are though smaller and look even smaller in this large viewing area. It comes with strong Wi-Fi support and Bluetooth version 4.0. The main feature of this gadget is the “Lightening Connector” that lets it to connect to virtually any device through HDMI support.

Though the three gadgets are the benchmarks of today’s tab generation still while deciding one has to look to every feature and the price tag that is available. IPad mini is easily the best among the three but the price tag of the other two is enough to lure many into their own bag. The Apple product could give a run for money to the others if their product is put down to a bit more competitive pricing segment.
