So you were proven wrong and then default back to "better RAM".

RAM is not created equally. iOS doesn't have nearly the memory footprint of Android and therefore runs faster and smoother on "inferior hardware". If you don't need the horsepower to run the OS, why would you complain about less RAM, even though performance is better? More RAM is just another item to suck down battery power.

(note: I'm not bashing the Nexus 10, I think it's a fine tablet but every review is trumpeting the iPad 4... as an iPad 3 and iPhone 5 owner, I can only imagine what the A6 processor can do in that tablet).

All those specs favout nexus except 3g which is useless, yet I was proven wrong? And ram is very important. Also where did I say ram was the only thing? Nexus has more features, better screen. And thats for much cheaper price. Not only did you NOT prove anything, the nexus is a beast and cheaper then the apple product.

 

Where is your proof Android requires a bigger footprint?

Here's my evidence:

That's the Nexus One. It shipped six months after the iPhone 3GS with a faster CPU and twice as much memory. Google boasted it was a "superphone." It won't run Android past 2.3. The older, slower, iPhone 3GS with half the memory will run the latest version of iOS, albeit with some software features disabled.

And it's certainly not just Google's flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S can't run 4.0, and neither can the HTC Desire HD with 768MB of RAM.

For Jelly Bean, HTC just came out and said it, 512MB is not enough. But it is enough for all iOS features on the 4S, iPad 2 and iPad Mini.
