You may have noticed the current offerings of Nexus Tabs have had "(2012)" added to their names. That's because: http://www.google.com/nexus/7/ The 4G LTE version looks a really interesting proposition with dual band WiFi and 2GB RAM. Screen resolution is way higher than the Apple mini, but there's still no microSD slot. It looks like they've improved the sound though, as the original Nexus 7 wasn't up with my Acer A110 in that department.
