Lets start with the specs of the Mini 5. Its a full 3g phone, comes with Android 1.6 (most likely will come with 2.1), it has a 5 inch 800x480 capacitive screen, snapdragon QSD8250 chipset blue tooth and wifi. Including the battery its 152mm x 78mm x 10mm at 8 ounces. 405 MB of RAM and 1.63 GB of internal memory with space for microsd if wanted. The iPad is larger at 242.8mm x 189.7mm x 13.4 mm at 1.6 lbs( btw were doing the wifi + 3g model), it has a 9.7 inch 1024 x 768 display 64GB with a 1GHz Apple A4 chip (very uncommon for apple to use there own chipset).
It's evident that the ipad is larger more powerful for its size, but both the iPad and Mini 5 have the same basic functionality. Both using standard OS's not mobile, you can argue that android 1.6 is mobile but it runs just like an OS on a pc or mac, both are lightning fast on the web and can access the web anywhere. unlike the iPad, the mini does come with a web cam, but thats cause its basically a phone. The iPad does have multi touch, unlike the mini and has the option of a key board attachment. So, the question is, which one to buy? Honestly, i would go for the mini mainly cause it has the everything you need in a mobile device, internet and phone, in a easy to use tablet device, and cause i think the iPad is just apples way of making up for the mac book air. So WDCTechTalk final verdict, pick the mini, its better, but there is one draw back....it hasn't been released yet. So have patients
