You should have some citations there: (I'm assuming Kindle Fire HD)

* Lighter - that is correct, it is ~75g lighter than KF & N7

* Better battery life - citing the tech specs, it gets 10h browsing, surfing etc. the same as N7 and 1h less than KF's (these are all advertised)

* Bigger display - Yes it is bigger in inches, but it is lower resolution than both KF and N7 - meaning pictures are going to look worst. And the mini won't be able to do true 720p.

* Faster processor - Comparing apples and oranges here, provide a citation.

I've never gotten anything close to 10h battery life out of my Nexus 7.

And I left out the cameras. The iPad Mini has (it appears) an actually good camera, whereas the Kindle Fire has none and the Nexus 7 (I think) only has a (poor) front camera -- never figured out how to use it if it's there.
