Software
The Nexus 7 possess Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and awaiting to get updated to Android 4.2. Jelly Bean is the best OS for phones and since Nexus is getting considered as tablet, it is not well suited for Nexus.

Ios 6 is there in iPad mini and in terms of polish and consistency they are dominating the world. iOS 6 has elegant optimized tablet interface in which one can get multiple columns. Safari is the best mobile browser and even non technical users can handle that easily by its user friendly approach.
In terms of software, iPad Mini still dominates over Nexus. But at the same time, one's need is ready to use, iOS is the winner. If one prefers to configure and work the way out, Android is the winner.

But iPad mini costs $329 only for 16GB itself and the rest ranges more. $429 for 32GB, and $529 for 64GB. Additional price of $130 for HSPA+/LTE.
Conclusion

The iPad is similar with tablets and who want to buy in higher ranges definitely can go for it.
