Nexus Prime Specs are out!

Man..you're dense. Yes, if a person doubles to 2, it's a 100% increase. That part is right.

But if 1% doubles to 2%, it's a 1% increase. You've gone from 1/100 to 2/100. Still with me? Now make it 2% doubling to 4%. By your maths, you have an increase of 100%, yea? But 100% = 100/100....still with me?

NOW PAY ATTENTION: a 100% increase would mean that you've got 2/100 + 100/100 = 102/100. THAT'S WRONG! You've gone from 2/100 to 4/100...an increase of 2%!!!

Like I said, you're forgetting that you're dealing with percentages. If you go from 2 people to 4 people, YES, you've increased the number of people by 100%. But if you go from 2% of people to 4% of people, then YOU HAVEN'T INCREASED THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE BY 100%. You've just added 2% of the number of people!

Try to remember your school days...if you write a test and score 5/10 marks, that's 50% no? If someone else scores 6/10, then they've got 60%. Does that mean they've given 20% (i.e. 2/10) more correct answers than you have? NO! It means they've 10% (i.e. 1/10) more correct answers than you have.

I've tried to explain it as best I can. If you don't get it, then you just don't get it. I just hope you have a good accountant.

It's not me that doesn't get it chap - it's you.

You need to re read my original post, you've totally got the wrong end of the stick and keep going around in circles trying to justify your earlier erroneous post, instead of just apologising for it, which is really what you should have done!

That said this whole thread has become tiresome and boring so that's it from me.

re read my original post...it'll be a Eureka moment for you!

Getting back on topic...

Android is ****! lol

Just kidding - but the Nexus Prime will be another 'nearly' phone IMO and will join the long list of other 'iPhone Killers' that never actually do kill it.

Actually my "Eureka" moment was finally understanding that it's a waste of time to explain simple maths to simple people.

and how do you take seriously to the company thats named apple, i mean its a fruit for god sakes

Don't forget Apple Records, the home of The Beatles.

If you want to believe that IOS is the leading OS, then you are entitled to your...skewed perception.

However, according to companies whose job it is to count these things, Android surpassed iOS on smartphones a while ago.

iOS is still more widespread on tablets, of course... but I suspect that will change with time.

Regarding features, that's a no brainer. Android has more of them. iOS is in the wierd position of playing catch up. Notifications, iCloud, voice recognition are all examples of Apple emulating google's offeriings.

And Windows outsells the Mac, right? This is an old worn out argument pitting an OS against a platform. Windows is on hundreds of PC's and OS X is on one brand. Android is on hundreds of phones while iOS is on one phone. Making this analogy that Android is better because it's on more handsets is just plain stupid.

If someone feels android is superior to iOS, then they should definitely use it. Why they would feel the need to go on about that fact on a mac-centric website isn't clear to me, but to each their own.

But it's fairly obvious that, as with many things, the product used by the most people is not necessarily (nor even often) that of the best quality. It's a poor indicator in most cases, at best.

1a) I agree, yet that said it's human nature or we wouldn't see it.

Sometimes I get the impression an Android thread is started by an Android hating iPhone user, for the sole purpose of bashing Android.

2a) Once again I concur.

Just look at the massive number of people who frequent nutritionally risky fast food restaurants. The number of smokers, drug addicts etc.

And to think my vice is: buying tens of thousands of dollars, of Mac's and other gear. Then speaking out frankly about their current business practices ha... ha... ha...

Judging how well the ICS SDK port is running on my Nexus S, I can't wait to test drive it on a Galaxy Nexus.

Really…. Both are great phones. The only advantages that the G Nexus will have over the iPhone 4s is LTE, Screen Resolution, Speed, Customization, widgets and design. But till the iPhone 5 comes out it will be a different story

I most certainly agree.

A huge Apple enthusiast, it pains me to witness how reluctant they are to increase the display size.

I'd like nothing better than to see Apple release a truly stunning new design. A larger display and a phone that performs as it should. Anything else would be a bonus.

I have a good feeling that the iPhone 5 will be just that If so, it will be my next phone after the G Nexus
