Why should someone choose the new ipad mini instead of the nook color or kindle fire?

Q. Someone wants this for a gift but I can't afford it.
Pro/con lists would be highly appreciated.

A. Review comparison from an owner of iPad 3 and Kindle Fire HD, should be helpful:

Maybe because of the app store. Kindle Fire has a decent amount of apps I.e Over 50k while Nook Color merely has over 6k apps which in relation to iPad mini are pretty low as apple has over 600k apps by now.

The way I look at it is that Amazon app store offers only those apps which are pretty famous at google play like Temple run. fruit ninja and lots of others. While Barnes and Nobles because of low amount of interest in creating apps, they are pretty backwards in this category.

I'd recommend Kindle Fire HD because its the best bang for buck. 1280*800 HD display @216PPI, front facing HD camera, 1.2Ghz dual core processor with 1Gb RAM, digital dolby stereo speakers, HDMI out, Amazon content and services it does the job pretty well.

But as said it does have restricted app store and no microSd card slot is to be found.

On iPad mini you have the app store, Dual camera, Siri, tv out.

But it does have a very low quality screen I.e 167PPI plus they turn out to still use 512MB. And the price is high.

And Nook Color to be frank is very outdated. It can only be an option if you are looking for a very cheap tablet which is well known and reliable.

These are the prices of these three devices as per Amazon.

I transferred some pictures from my computer to my ipad mini. Where can I find them?
Q. I checked all the photos on the ipad but the pictures are not there. Where can I find those pictures and how do I open them?

Another question: when I tried to safely remove the lighting connector from my computer, my computer does not show "safely remove". Why is that? Any help is appreciated.
The iPad is connected to the lightning connector.

A. If the pictures aren't in the iPad's "Photos" app then they aren't on the iPad, or you transferred them to the wrong place (which might happen if you were using the iPad as a disk drive, which I've never tried).

For your 2nd question, if only the lightning connector was connected, but not your iPad, then there is no device attached (your computer just sees it as a cable with nothing on the other end), and it's always safe to remove.
