It is true that a lot of people pay more for Apple not only for the better build materials but also for Apple’s ecosystem. Today we wanted to look at the iPad 4 vs. Nexus 10 in terms of specs, and also taking into account the system behind Apple that a lot of people are buying into. It is fair that over the years some people have built up a number of Apple products that work well together, and the iPad 4 would integrate nicely with your Apple TV, MacBook, iPhone, and other products that use iOS or Mac OS X.

Dedicated Apple fans say that new tablet shoppers need to look past the specs, when looking at the iPad 4 vs. Nexus 10, and to ignore hardware and display resolution. They point to the whole Apple ecosystem and App Store, which a large number of iOS users believe is ahead of the competitors, and some parents state “if you’re trying to find something for your kids, I wouldn’t recommended anything but iTunes“.

Apple iPad 4 and Google Nexus 10 features important to you – I can speak from personal experience that our son has preferred using the Apple iPad, now iPad mini, over our Nexus 7 but this doesn’t mean it is a better option for everyone. The fact is that certain functions are better for one person and then to another they will be totally irrelevant, so this is why you’ll always see one person trying to convince another that certain features are better, but they won’t always agree considering not all functions are important to another person.

What’s better for you, Apple iPad 4 or Google Nexus 10? We wanted to present the main differences between the 4th generation iPad and Nexus 10, which can be seen in the chart below that shows the differences in specs. Take a look at the difference when it comes to specs, and let us know which is better on paper in your opinion?

Apple ecosystem with iPad 4 and other iPads – It is fair to say that the 4th generation iPad has a better display than the iPad mini, which is due to the Retina display on the larger iPad, but the screen ratio has been kept the same and simplifies things for iOS app developers. The Apple ecosystem makes it easier for developers to support the iPad with dedicated apps, which is also helped by the fact that there’s a lot less variety than seen with Android tablets. The downside is that Apple seem to charge a lot more money for their products, which might be due to the fact that people are paying the money, so until that changes it seems Apple will always cost more.

Google Nexus 10 is the best of the bunch – you won’t be disappointed with your new Nexus 10 tablet, and while you’ll find a massive range of Android tablets to choose from that offer a nice choice for all budgets, this choice also causes problems when it comes to supporting these Android tablets with dedicated apps for a better experience. The Android SDK makes it easy to write apps that work on all screen sizes, but the problem is this isn’t happening right now, and instead you’ll find most Android apps are scaled up smartphone apps that lack the dedicated design for a tablet as seen with made-for-iPad apps.

Google’s developer resources certainly make it easy for devs to create dedicated Android tablet apps, but in reality there aren’t many apps built for the Nexus 10 display, or in fact most Android tablet displays. In time we hope more devs will care to make apps for Android tablets, rather than smartphone apps with the same layout.

We’ve included a couple of videos below that compare the iPad 4 and Nexus 10, so take a look and then hit the comments with your thoughts. You can also see a visual review of the Google Nexus 10 and LG Nexus 4 here, or some iPad 4 benchmarks in an article from earlier this week.

We all knew that the LG Nexus phone was coming thanks to a collection of leaks that have been in circulation over the past few weeks. It’s always nice to see the devices announced by Google officially though, and we’re pleased to say that there are a lot of positive aspects of the Nexus 4 to share with you.

For starters, it ships with the new version of Android 4.2, which will offer consumers a few new features compared to Android 4.1.1, including some very impressive looking 360 degrees camera technology, which may give Google the edge over Apple when it comes to a panorama contest.

There’s a quad-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro processor on board, which will power a 4.7-inch 1280 x 768 IPS display screen with an 8 megapixel rear camera and 1.3mp front camera also included. One of the most impressive features that we can see is the fact that the Nexus 4 includes support for inductive wireless charging, with an orb accessory available as a separate purchase.

A 2,100 mah battery, 2GB of RAM and NFC round out a very impressive looking device and you’ll be very pleased to hear that prices start at just $299 for an 8GB model, or 16GB for $349. Google is going to be selling this device unlocked and the most disappointing aspect resides in the fact that there’s no support for LTE – only HSPA+ or GSM networks.

Google touts the Nexus 10 tablet as the thinnest tablet available on the market and it’s another device that is going to ship with Android 4.2 out of the box. While LG does the honors for the Nexus 4, Samsung has helped to build the Nexus 10 and it’s going to offer a screen resolution of 2,560 by 1,600 pixels.

As for the Nexus 7, everything remains the same except for the fact that Google has now introduced a 32GB model and dropped the 8GB model in favor of a 16GB version for the same $199 asking price. The Nexus 7 32GB model is going to be $250 as previously rumored, but there’s also going to be a $299 option for those that want HSPA+ data on board as well.

You can pick up the Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 devices from Google on November 13. The Nexus 4 will be available for $299 (8GB model), or $349 for a 16GB version. If you’re after the Nexus 10 tablet, expect to pay $399 for the 16GB model and $499 for the 32GB model.

You can read a full recap on specs and price for all three models via Google’s official press release here. We have added a selection of videos that we think you’ll find useful. It seems like a cluster of information all at once, but have you already decided which new device you are getting? Look forward to a Nexus 4 vs iPhone 5 comparison soon.
