I don't think he is going to like it even if he gets the prototype Android 7.0 running on hexa core with 6GB of ram with 1200p resolution on a 4.5" screen. IMO.

Maybe they change the interface to be more friendly (less touches) and resolve the problems with performance and power consumption (baterry life) I can like it.

It have nothing against the hardware... I have against the software... with this powerful hardware Android's gadgets need to be a lot better than the others but that's not happen.

Have you seen the battery life of the new Nexus devices? It's equal to the iOS devices. In the case of the Nexus 10, it's similar battery life but with a smaller battery, more powerful CPU/GPU and higher res screen then the new iPad. Where are you getting this idea that Android is a power hog? The specs show it's more efficient then the latest incarnation of iOS.

And my Nexus 7 performs better then my partners iPhone 4. Seriously, just try out Android 4.x, it's ridiculously easy and efficient.

I just can't say anything about Nexus 10 because it's not released yet but all Android 4.x I tryied is like I explaned before... it's complicated and ineficient... It have always a better hardware and run simular or worst than competition.

What I read in the forum (and listened some friends) the Android 4.1 seems to consume more baterry than the precious version... after the update the upgrade the power consumption became even worst.

All my friends have issues with the batery life of Galaxy SII and Galaxy SIII... you have to charge it almost two time per day... you are working and it down because baterry... it's painful... the iPhone instead holds almost two days without charges.

Like I said I will try the Nexus 10 when it is released.

S2 and 3 are not Nexus. Their issues are related to Samsung's skins and changes ... not Android stock. Big difference.

Just try a Galaxy Nexus or Nexus 7... those are all out now with Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean).



I think your prices are off. What news I've read on the Nexus 10 state that the prices are $399 16gb, or $499 32gb version. Not $349/$399 like in your post.
I'm also surprised that they don't offer a 64gb option. It seems like it would be a good option for people since there is no SD card slot.

Also the iPad has a 9.7" screen, not 9.1".

Android clearly wins, It's not only the cheapest but it's by far the most powerful. I don't know how apple still gets sales with such competition from google, no wonder apple sees them as a threat.

Also, that nexus 4 phone seems like an amazing phone, especially at the price.

holy pooo... I did F that up. Odd as I know I had the Play store up when I created that list chart.

As for the iPad screen... oops typo.



i'll be getting the ipad 4 when it releases. ive had the ipad 2 since launch and its been fantastic. the iOS is virtually flawless.

honestly... beyond specific OS fanboyism... I don't see why anyone would choose any other 10" (or 7" for Nexus7) over the Nexus 10. Its by far the better choice and FAR less $$

The Android is the only open operating system of the 3 and to me is the main reason to buy the Nexus 10 especiall considering the price is not as good vs the competition compared to 7" model.

After looking, at this my laymens eyes do still go with the Nexus 10. Especially the hightr ram than the ipad4.  I do have reason to be partial to it of course.

The iPad Wins Because Android Tablet Apps Suck: An Illustrated Guide

 

And just because an app claims to run on tablets doesn't mean it was designed for tablets. Often, after you download an app you'll discover that it's ugly or nearly useless because it was designed for a 4-inch screen. The frustrating discovery process is one reason our software desk was able to come up with a list of The 100 Best iPad Apps but only 12 great Android tablet apps.

 

Also no LTE on the Nexus 4 and only being available in 8gb or 16gb configurations with no SD card slot.
