The Nexus 7 isn't lighter. Check the specs.

  It isn't even as much smaller as you'd expect. The two are so close in size/weight that the difference is not significant for most use cases. But the Nexus 7 wins one use case: fitting in pant packets. They both fit in some pant pockets, they both don't fit in others. The difference is the Nexus 7 fits in a lot more pant pockets than the iPad mini does. That use case probably doesn't outweigh the "does it have the games I want" question, though...

    >But the Nexus 7 wins one use case: fitting in pant packets People with big hands can hold the Nexus 7 in what I will call the "beer-can grip". The mini's extra half inch or so of width makes the beer-can grip a lot less comfortable or a lot less reliable (secure).

  You're right, my apologies. (For others, iPad Mini: 308 or 312 grams; Nexus 7: 340 or 347 grams.) Thanks for the correction.
