Why do everyone always forget the small things when it comes to Apple? It's what makes them great, and it's why customers will choose the 7-inch iPad over the Nexus. It's about battery life, lack-of-lag, build quality, trust in brand, better camera.

When people ask me why i buy a mac i usuallly answer "because of the magsafe adapter".

Battery life for the Nexus has been measured at over nine hours for watching video at 100% brightness, 100% volume. Not too shabby and probably hard to beat.

There is no more lag in Android 4.1, which adds triple buffering and runs at a constant 60 fps.

I think the price point will play a big role too. $200 is hard to beat and Apple will have to decide whether they want to continue serving the high end with more expensive products and big margins, or whether they want to keep their platform mainstream for years to come. For that they need more market share which the Kindle, Nook and now the Nexus are aggressively attacking on the low end.

I think the 'small thing' that will swing many people (who haven't yet got a full size iPad) will be bringing their iPhone/iPod apps over. I know many people that have a considerable number of apps and games that they are loathed to ditch when they move on to a tablet, and that will be the main reason they won't go Android any time soon.

I am the inverse - I've 'bought in to' the Android eco-system so much so that to set up an iOS device with all the apps/features I love on Android would set me back a fair whack - plus I know what works for me - I'd have to research the best apps etc. for iOS - and I'm just too lazy now.
