The iPhone and iPad could really use more memory. I was trying to figure out why Skype and Vtok get killed while in the background and in the diagnostics section there are literally dozens of reports of low memory conditions killing Skype, vtok and Mobile Safari.

A bigger processor and more memory isn't something that most users are concerned with. The important thing that people will see on a phone like this is that it's enormous (4.6" vs 3.5") and the huge impact this (as well as the processor) will have on battery life. Android already has a reputation for terrible battery life.

I would imagine that the extra RAM doesn't help battery life either.

If you have a faster processor working on a smaller core, doesn't that mean that if you underclock it, you will get better battery performance -- more bang for the juice?

The only problem with Android and battery life is the way it manages services and how it deals with services that abuse the processor. An app such as Watchdog, combined with JuiceDefender fixes the issue. On my Galaxy S II, I can go to bed with 98% battery and wake up with 98% battery. The processor is set to 200Mhz at sleep and any service using more than 1% of the processor is automatically killed (unless I want it to run)

Wow. Nothing there but an abbreviated spec sheet. Is this the most content-free article ever?

Most other articles had the specs intertwined into an article, and I just wanted to share the specs compared that go beyond iPhone 4S'.
