Lots of people don't see the small values of having the one ecosystem. Since having a baby photostream makes my life incredibly easy. Sure I could use flickr or instagram but I know the babies grandparents and uncles and aunts don't know how to use that. They do know how to click the red notification button and see the new adorable pictures.
I know for this reason alone my immediate family who are not tech savvy will never buy a nexus tablet over an iPad and this is exact;y what Apple wants!

Yeah, that stuff is all awesome.
But Google Nexus 7 32 GB - $269 CDN, Apple Ipad Mini Retina 32 GB - $519 CDN.
Is the ecosystem really worth a whopping $250 price difference? You could just about buy 2 Nexus 7's for the price of one Ipad mini.
I've owned a lot of apple products, including Ipads, and it just seems incredibly unreasonable to me, especially given that competing products are now very good and very well reviewed.
