Holy wow at the next wave of tablet warriors. Below is a chart listing out the specs of each device.

As you may guess, I love the Nexus10 and the latest Android goodness. Since 4.x, Android has simply begun to dominate the mobile OS market and easily lead them all in user interface, featureset, and innovation.

First with NFC and Wallet apps.
First with stock based panoramic and now Sphere photo capabilities. (Sphere video)
First and best with combinination of widgets and enhanced notifications.
Biggest hardware selection.

Well anyways.... you all can pick and choose OS awesomeness in the comments. Here's the table!

  Google Nexus 10 Apple iPad 4 (not mini!) Microsoft Surface RT Microsoft Surface Pro

EDIT: (Oct 27th) I added Surface Pro mostly for one user, but I also already found all the main info in this post ( http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4856770 ) and figured why not. Keep in mind that some parts of it (like price) are not official and I will try to update when they are, if this is still relevant.

I also added weight by request.

EDIT2: (Nov 2) http://www.anandtech.com/show/6425/google-nexus-4-and-nexus-10-review AND http://www.anandtech.com/show/6426/ipad-4-gpu-performance-analyzed-powervr-sgx-554mp4-under-the-hood This is the first benchmarks that has something about these three. It really only covers the Nexus10, but the info on the iPhone5 is directly relevant to the iPad4. From the review its apparent that the CPUs of Nexus10 and iPad4 are more than likely very similar in performance. However, the GPUs in all tests are in favor of iPad4, by a fair margin. If this thread is still alive at the time, I'll update when more benchmarks come out comparing these actual three items as I'm sure it will happen.
