Lol. Larry Page or Eric Schmidt. Not in the same ballpark.
That being said, I agree it was a classy move. Apple has more tact than either one of their respective business put together. I think Apple would have done the same.

Cmon. Slightly better. Siri actually "learns'. That is regular old voice reg. No comparison. It still uses info that is already avail. Such as maps. Siri does not. It knows what you mean or interprets what you mean.
I have to Lol. Why can't these companies think of something else when presenting something. The android shirt, the white background, gimme a break.
Voice search has been a pre-installed on a lot of Android devices for a long time now and third party applications can integrate with the OS. You can use voice input on any text field with a tap of the microphone button on the keyboard.
There is even an API for developers to hook into the functionality. http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/03/speech-input-api-for-android.html
Something you have to keep in mind is that the 4.6" screen is also integrating the buttons into the screen. So, in reality, it's not going to be as big of a phone as you might think.
That's not to say that coming from an iPhone to the Prime isn't going to be a big difference. But it sure won't be a mini-tablet either.
I'm stoked myself. Will be selling my iPhone 4 32GB as soon as the complete specs and images are out.

It looks like I was right
You gotta love these passive-aggressive comments, just saying!!
Seriously I dont see nowhere at all where this phone is a beast VS the iPhone 4S. Ohhhhh wait I see it has a 4.6 inch screen ... Pathetic this will please a minority of people ( yeah thats right you people here in the forums complaining about having a jumbo screen .. You are a minority ) and please a 1.2 duale core SoC that has .2 gain over the A5 ... You will never be able to see the differance with apps ... Are you trying to do professional video editing on your phone ... If the answer is yes .. Then why dont you just keep your money and buy a decent laptop insted ... God this is getting annoying about the specs .... This Phone has nothing on the 4S.
I'm sure the buttons wont' be there all of the time though; maybe swiping up to bring them up and down to hide? Like the Playbook or W8 on tablets. That would allow bigger screens and less bezel all around.
you forgot that it can do LTE and has NFC on it.
not to mention micro USB, SD card, and replaceable battery support.
iPhone 4S is damn fine phone. Simple to use with a high quality camera. Some people just prefer a bigger screen.
LOL. Apple has a ton of leverage with the carriers. Google has literally none. The number of phones Google sells is so tiny they have no leverage at all. There is no chance that happens.
The only spec change from the earlier specs was allegedly the camera.. How does that change anything LMAO.
----------
Bigger screen with inferior density and crispness... Woohoo...
----------
That is not the same thing at all.
----------
Yeah what that said in a round about way is that all these devices will be slower than the iPhone 4S.
Not surprising but it is kind of silly when the only advantage Android phones have are hardware specs and they don't really even carry those any longer.

Are you referring to those tactful Mac vs PC commercials? Yeah, Apple is full of it (I mean tact).
LOL, well fine then. Nobody is begging you to buy anything s go be happy with your 4GS with the same look and same screen. Persoanlly i think the prime blows away the 4GS but im not a fanboy and dont care what you or anyone else buys. Please yourself.
Oh and the Nexus Prime will have a 1.5 Ghz dual core processor, not a 1.2.
----------
I never said that. You are misquoting me and that was somebody else.
Wrong, the OP said it had a 1.2 GHZ dual core processor and it has a 1.5 dual core. It also has a 8MP camera where it was stated it had a 5 MP camera. Try to keep up.
It's not as big as it looks. The next version of Android replaces hard buttons with the soft ones. Extra piece of the screen works just as a button row. The actual screen size is about the same 4.3" as many current phone models already use. The size of the case stays the same.
How is this thread still alive?! Jesus. I'm pretty serious about my phone, but I am definitely not serious enough to carry on like 400 comments of nonsensical arguments about it!
Go get some POON, people.

This has been pointed out to marksman directly about 2 or 3 times in this thread alone. It's also been pointed out that the rumoured GPU is the same one used in the iPad 2.
The guy/gal either has some serious reading comprehension problems, selective reading to the point of ignorance, and/or is just too lost in fanboy fantasy world to pay any attention to it.
