Today, Google’s stock of the Galaxy Nexus finally ran out, and now the phone is unavailable for purchase from the Google Play…

On Monday I published the first part of my Galaxy Nexus and iPhone 4S comparison. On the hardware side, the 4S came out on top with a score of 4 points to 3. It was a close run thing. An improved camera and better build quality would have seen the Ice Cream Sandwich-powered handset come out on top. Link: iPhone 4S vs. Galaxy Nexus – part 1. Would the…
