After the first drop the presenter says: "iPad mini held up well, slight damage on the corner there, that's about it." In contrast, the Nexus 7 "Took a beating on the edge, cracked on the edge," he says. It's not a win all round for Apple, however. "The iPad 3 took a lot of damage where it landed on the corner, there are cracks everywhere," he says, showing the smashed screen.

In a drop test where the tablets are set to land face down, the iPad mini doesn't do so well. "It's completely shattered, glass is coming off," states the presenter.

The Nexus 7 "didn't do to bad." The tablet experienced just a bit of cracking in the middle.

Unfortunately the iPad 3 is "completely destroyed."

In a water test, where the tablets are immersed for 10 seconds Nexus 7 turns itself off and resets itself "so it's not responsive," notes the presenter.
