This is another one of the most stupid posts that you see constantly from the google side. Android phones are mostly on par with the iPhone. Its taken everyone else 2 years to finally match the iphone screen ppi. That being said, Apple releases a phone once a year while New android phones drop every Thursday at 3:45. There will always be newer kit out there ahead of an iPhone update. The GIII is just hitting the market with the same camera as the 4S yet weaker performance according to reviews thanks to software. The screen is pentile crap. AMOLED is nice, but your pixels are woefully overated. The processor is irrelevant since android can't handle high end processors properly, but even if it could it's right on par with iPhone. Gpu. Same deal. Apple wins every time.
Not sure what you mean on the last part. Yes the new tab will get updates. All .025 of the user base will rejoice. The rest are screwed. Repeat what I said before, JB will be lucky to hit 5% penetration by same time next year.
Galaxy SIII has newer sensor than iPhone 4S. SGSII actually had 8MP sensor before iPhone got it. International SGSIII beats iPhone 4S in all benchmarks and specs. Domestic SGSIII beats 4S in all benchmarks but GPU-related ones.
