I thought 4.2 was Key lime lie?

[Kurtis]

i thought they were saving the naming for major versions?

[dub]

When they bring a major update they give it a name, regardless of the numbering convention. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history

There's an induction coil on the nexus 4, so it should have wireless charging

8gb is dead though,the 16gb model may be able to sway me.

Although, I might just get the Nexus 10, I'v already got a S3

Google >

[Kurtis]

8gb is more than fine for me, i dont put all my music and files on my phone anyways

hope i can order this and get it on the 13th cause im really excited now

gonna place the preorder like 2 days before

[Vtec]

I recently copped the S3 LTE model. but on a regs 3G plan. No 4g sh*t.

The thing eats ram for joke... Think I only had a few apps open, location services off and wifi off and the obvious features in check.

Checked ram usage... 1.75GB ram in use.. Whatever.. (mainly background sh*t kickin off)

downloaded "BetterBatteryStats" and sorted it out automatically.

Curious to how the regular 1gb ram S3's behave... anyone?

[Lenny]

Android is good with ram, it will shut down tasks accordingly when it needs more.

[mp*]

There were complaints about stuff like redraw on the 1gb model. 2gb is the sweet spot for now imo
