Apple iPad Mini vs Amazon Kindle Fire HD vs Google Nexus 7: Display, Design, Watching Music, Videos / Apple Has Best Tablet on the Market.

Which tech company has the best small tablet? Is it the Apple iPad Mini, the Amazon Fire HD or the Google Nexus 7? Let's break down the specs, display and design for all three to see which tablet has the edge.

For reading books and magazines, the Apple iPad Mini may have the edge. Sure the large 7.9-inch display, but its Apple's access to Google Play, iBooks and Kindle. Instead of being limited Apple iPad Mini users are less limited when it comes to online inventory.

The same goes for the App story, possible the biggest edge over the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7. Apple has many more apps designed for the iPad Mini compared to its small tablet competitors.

The Kindle Fire HD may be the best tablet to listen to music on, however. Though I prefer the sound quality of the iPad Mini personally, the Kindle Fire HD design is a little more intuitive, installing the speakers on the sides of the tablet as opposed to putting both at the bottom.

The Nexus 7 is a bit of a disappointment, designing the speakers on the back of the tablet.

When doing side-by-side comparisons of video watching on all three of the devices, the Nexus 7 and iPad Mini both excelled. The Nexus 7 seemed to perform a little bit better when watching videos on YouTube and Safari, while the Apple iPad Mini seemed to have the best resolution for Netflix. Watching videos on the Kindle Fire HD was by far the worst, due to unclear, dull images.

Though the Apple iPad Mini gets my vote for best tablet altogether, it does come with a price tag that is roughly $130 more than the Google Nexus 7 and Amazon Kind Fire HD.
