Hey Guys, I wanna buy tablet around 20,000 Rs.
Primary use is for watch movies and read ebooks.
So i'll transfer stuff from pc to tablet.
Option I'm considering:

ipad mini
Samsung galaxy tab 2
Google nexus 7


I don't think ipad will allow transfer of movies and ebooks
Is there any way to do it?

The ipad would give the best app support nd is very smooth n stable. go for it if u dnt have preference for Android. As for transferring data itunes is must for ipad. nexus 7 is gr8 too. gud hw along with the advantage of being a nexus device. Nexus devices get the best sw support.

Sorry, I never visited that place, I just read the PR newsletter long time back.

Nexus 7: More control, better screen, better battery life, gorilla glass,
iPad mini: Less control(like almost zero unless you jailbreak it), better camera, cellular option for a bit more cost, show off.

Asus Google Nexus 7 vs. Apple iPad mini Wi-Fi - GSMArena.com

Don't give attention to RAM etc, ios hardware optimization makes both at par.

Well one drawback is that in the iPad is that you wont be able to get PDFs by directly copy pasting.

For retina iPad Mini, *www.ibtimes.com/apple-ipad-5-ipad-mini-2-rumors-release-date-both-tablets-coming-march-2013-1010318

Since watching movies is the priority here is Ppi, screen type, storage and battery life.

Purchase based on these parameters.

Get Asus Nexus 7 from here: Buy Google Nexus 7 Tablet

They have a 15% discount offer, so final price comes down to 16.8k
