Android 2.2 aPad Vs Apple iPad - Off-topic

Just released in SZ (China). New iPad clones run Android 2.2 with hardware equal to iPad, around $200 - $290 USD.
8" Android 2.2 aPad - 1GHz Cortex A8 Processor - 512MB DDR2
10.2" Android 2.2 aPad - 1GHz Cortex A8 Processor - 512MB DDR2
Any reviews, discussion on these? I have laid my money down and waiting for the courier to show up. Been burnt before and not holding my breath, but as an ebook reader and wifi surfer?

(The link's prefix is cut)

Only downside I can think of its resistive touch, and I have never heard of Freescale processors before.
You'll have to let us know how it goes, these seem quite interesting...

well i heard the a8 1ghz cpu isn't 1ghz its 800mhz

Not be quite sure now until the gadget arrives.
Yeah, in ARM official site, Cortex A8 comes with 800MHz frequency, I think they add DSP frequency with A8 frequency together, so it is 1GHz.

I looked at android tablets for a week straight in the end I got a iPad and love it but I'm the kind of guy that likes everything. I have a ford and a chevy a xbox and ps3 android and apple

So who is leaving N1 for G2

With the new release of G2 I am sure there are many of n1 users looking to upgrade. Who is in? I don't need a hardware keyboard. I like the slim n1. Prob wait for the real nexus two. I wonder what is the full spec on the new G2? Whatcha think?
Edit: 800mhz say what? You guys sure u want to upgrade.

not yet...
I am not going to leave for the g2 untill january, or at least until the gingerbread phones start rolling out, but if there isn't anything spectacular...which there most likely will be...I will be trading the nexus for the g2
800 MHz? No thanks.
Not Me...what would I do with a slide out keyboard
The only thing I'd really like is HSPA+, though my city probably won't get it for a few months. Other than that, I don't see anything overwhelming with the G2. Don't need a hardware keyboard now that I'm used to virtual keyboard and Swype... The Adreno 205 GPU is also something else I'd like. I think I'll just wait until early next year to see what other HSPA+ phones come out.

It's an underclocked proc from what I hear. Clock speed isn't everything. It's more about how efficient the proc is in one clock cycle. From the sound of things (aka rumors so far), It's going to have some pretty damn sweet features. It's the successor to the first Android device! It can't fail
I'm not necessarily LEAVING the Nexus, but I'm seriously debating picking one of these bad boys up

How does that GPU compare to the one in Galaxy S?
Nice looking phone, but no. I will need something soon to replace this collectors item though.
As much as i would love to have a g2 to continue the legacy I think I will stick with the sexy nexy

Adreno 205
Now everyone knows that HTC G2 (also known as HTC Vision, HTC Vanguard, HTC G1 Blaze and HTC Desire Z) will feature Snapdragon MSM7230 chipset which uses Adreno 205.
Adreno 205 features:
Hardware-accelerated SVG and Adobe Flash®
Significant improvements in shader performance over Adreno 200 GPU
Streaming textures that can combine video, camera, SVG and other image surfaces with 3D graphics
Based on the early benchmark results, Adreno 205 is expected to be about four times faster than Adreno 200. Samsung's Hummingbird with PowerVR SGX540 is expected to beat Adreno 205 by a small margin, however. Still, given that nothing touches the performance of SGX540 today (that's right, iPhone 4 is not even close!), this is quite an improvement. Also, this thread proves that
Interesting to note that Adreno has hardware-accelerated support for Adobe Flash. Are we going to see much smoother movies in action on this platform?
Will Snapdragon QSD8x60 and QSD8672 use this GPU as well? Perhaps at a higher clock speed? These are dual-core chipsets running at 1.2GHz and 1.5GHz respectively. Rumored phones such as HTC Glacier (also known as HTC Emerald) and HTC Scorpion are expected to use these chipsets. If we are lucky, we may get to see some of these phones during 2010.
Blueman's List of phones that will get him to leave his current Nexus One:
Another Nexus One
Emerald
Nexus 2
</end of list>
At 1GHz or higher I would have bought one on release day. Now I plan on waiting for some reviews and opinions after it has been out for a month or two. I really would like a hardware keyboard but the absence of | and \ diminishes its usefulness for me.
The other mitigating factor is the rumored dual core Glacier on the horizon. I am interested in seeing how that one shapes up.
I'm buying the phone release date hopefully. It's only clocked at 800ghz so I'm guessing it'll get overclocked. I'm still keeping my Nexus though just as a collectors item, as a backup and for gingerbread. I'll never sell it. One reason I wanna switch is because the 3g problem on my nexus seems to be getting worse over time. The main reason I want it is the keyboard mainly for gaming and because it's vanilla android. If there is a nexus 2 I will buy it also and when the myTouch HD does come out or project emerald I'll just get my friend to get one and report it stolen and I'll do the same with mine and then switch the extra with him. I'm hoping its available for preorder but does anybody know if you preorder a phone does it charge you right when you preorder it or on your next bill?
Hell i am leaving my n1 for this mang! Well not leaving but getting.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/02/samsung-galaxy-tab-preview/
Why the hell would I? Its ridiculous to jump from N1 until a dual core android phone with a front facing camera and an 8MP rear camera that is a "Google" phone running stock android. In other words hell no!
Are you serious. No Thanks. If I only had a G1 with TMO, the obvious upgrade would be G2. But Nexus One to G2 = Downgrade. It's an ok phone though.
A) Just to play devil's advocate, people are saying that the 800 MHz MSM7x30 Scorpion chip actually runs FASTER than a 1 GHz Snapdragon. Read the comments here:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/01/confirmed-t-mobile-g2-will-have-android-2-2-flash-and-800mhz-c/
B) It'd be tempting but nah, not for me. I'll wait for the next resolution bump (past 800 x 480). Preferably higher than the retina display

The Tab, looks really nice, it has everything i could possibly want in a tablet, however I was planning on waiting for the Tegra2 line of Android Tablets. Hopefully they will run just as flawless as the Tab.
Im sorry but 1ghz ftw!
If it comes with HDMI I might get one. It's hard with T-Mobile because they rarely get really nice phones like this so I may get it regardless.

Galaxy S to Galaxy Nexus?

I am in India and we don't have contracts here, only unlocked phones. I've been looking out for an upgrade and Galaxy Nexus really intrigued me, I've never owned an actual Google dev phone before but would love to have one. Apart from this Galaxy Note also caught my eye but it being a GB phone really sets me off, that and the fact that it's power my Samsung's TW. My only concern is that SGX540 might be a tad weak for a decent amount of gaming, mostly Asphalt 6, RS11 and a few other little tidbits of games that are out there. What do you guys think?
SGX540 seems to be a waste of money on a modern phone (we're talking >600$ :s ). It seems like they want to offer the minimum specs for the maximum price...
I'd like to have untouched android directly on my phone but how much do I have to pay for it and do I have to lose features like ext-SD or a modern GPU?
Galaxy Nexus is a trendy phone which looks great but that's short.
I am from india and have very good knowledge about mobile and tablet devices and afaik the galaxy nexus has a very powerful gpu. way better than gs 2. Although the snapper is 5 mp believe me the snaps look absoultely amazing from this phone . Way better than gs 2. The processor is very good. Although we all wanted a samsung made one.

SGSII's GPU is supposedly more powerful than the one in SGN, which is the one found in our own SGS only clocked much higher(200 vs 384), although I couldn't find a benchmark comparing OMAP 4460 with Exynos.
You DO know there's 3 "nexus" phone right?

Plus, it is not confirmed whether GPU is also underclocked like the CPU [stock OMAP 4460 supports 1.5 Ghz] .
In effect, even if it supported 384 Mhz and there was some driver update which purportedly increases performance by say 10% and on the same resolution, it would still be slower than SGS II"s GPU [and significantly slower than A5].
The 720p screen ensures, that the GPU would perform quite poorly on the native resolution . Such a shame

MW3 only on low settings if. I got a Intel HD 3000 and a nvidia gt540m.
But if I was you I would look for something better if you plan play some games. I think nvidia gt540m works good with MW3 because I play it on my notebook and the graphics look good.
When i played MW3 on the Intel HD 3000 I had idea it was not running so smooth.
But Intel HD 3000 can handle 1080p just fine and you can also play some games but I think games like bf3 will not run good on this notebook.
I myself got an Asus K53SV-SX838V and it has Nvdia optimus.

My notebook has an i7 2670QM and 8GB Ram, and a decent GPU Nvidia GT540 and it came with a 640GB harddrive which I replaced with a 128GB SSD.
My notebook was € 587 and I even have an USB 3.0 port and the build quality is good. My notebook is an Asus K53SV-SX838V, but I got it with a really good promotion.
So I don't think my notebook was expensive at all.

Maybe you can better buy an notebook with AMD, because AMD Fusion processor. As these notebooks are really cheap and they seems to have a good GPU part with it.
I'm not fan off AMD, but you can look into it, read online and compare.

The 3D performance of the HD 6320 should be only minimally faster than a 6310 and therefore only low demanding or older games should run fluently (e.g. Call of Duty 4, Sims 3, Left 4 Dead 2, Fifa 11).
Based on the chip in the link bellow it's only a few Mhz faster.

Its a dual core processor not quad. It has a quad core gpu. It is faster than tegra 3 but uses the same a9 architecture and has two cores less. Okay.
i think it is overpriced for 4 core grapics if you can get for almost the same price a asus transformer prime with 12 core graphics and quad core processor

It's quad core GPU, not CPU. But it's a new chip so i guess it's faster than the previous one.
The GPU is the same as in the PS Vita. In other words, a freaking beast.

what games are you gonna play
will you be recording/streaming
what's your budget

In principle, if you compare the 10th generation of Intel or the 3rd AMD, then you will not see much difference in price. But, if you think for a long time, then you need to take it under AMD, because motherboards are cheaper and will still support the 4th generation of processors. It will even be enough to take some Ryzen 5 2600 in conjunction with a motherboard on socket B350

waiting until the 5000 series shortage is gone is much better
people will sell their 3rd series probably for half the price on ebay
basically waiting is just much much better than buying in this situation on both sides (intel and amd)
@KeyPlays133 what GPU are you gonna use?
if you haven't chosen you should get like a 2060 super/2060/1660 super
get the 2060 super if you want to "futureproof" your pc for 2 years or more or just wait for the rtx 40 series (if they exist) this year
20 series would probably be dirt cheap if those get released
or if AMD actually gets their ray tracing game on par with NVIDIA
