Could we dream to push our tabs this far?

Unless nvidia starts demonstrating end-user driver support, I'll not be able to invest in their future offerings. The Tegra line shows amazing numbers in their advertising spin, but their drivers, proprietary ones, suck.
ARM and its ilk is great for arm-style things, but I'm *really* looking forward to the new AMD SOC processors and to a lesser extent the next generation of intel ULV ones. [rant]We're looking to use these tablets as general purpose computing platforms, but keep running face-first into poorly supported hardware with the primary processing systems buried under wretched drivers by a company that will only really speak with another huge company. Good grief, nvidia won't even acknowledge that 2.3 exists yet. With the x86-based processors you can run anything you want...Want android, run x86. Want linux, run any distro. Want Windows, okey doke.[/rant]
Their stock option really went up since the arrival of the tegra line... don't you think that they Will adapt if they want to keep it going this way. I mean, if it is such a poor fit they'll drop back behind like in the previous years. Maybe they are betting on honeycomb... and what of the xoom? Isn't it 2.3 on a tegra 2?

Interesting poll in O'Reilly' - I'd say, the results are expected:
What mobile platform are you most interested in programming for?
Which OS do you vote for?
I've voted for Windows Mobile, but as I can see Android and iPhone is winning:

Android is growing fast and also iPhone is already the favorite phone of the average user. I hope the situation will change when Microsoft releases Windows Mobile 7. Considering the legions of experienced developers here at XDA, I believe Microsoft still has the odds to turn the things upside-down.
Of course, not everyone that use WinMo phone will give its vote for this OS - I hope everyone will vote fairly.
Palm OS is still going down!
I like much more Palm OS than any other OS
Android is on the move big time; 2010 should be a big year for it's OS!
How about Web OS?
@nathanpc: I don't have any experience with Web OS. I haven't heard much of it. I chose Windows Mobile since the platform is very popular and there are numerous of great applications available.
Needless to say my favorite is Windows Mobile but I also like Android although it is not as fast as I hoped.
I will never buy Symbian/iPhone - both are fast, but I don't like them at all. I had a Symbian phone a while ago and I have to admit it is fast - but this is its only advantage.
I don't have much experience with Maemo so far - but from what i've seen - it is fast and sleek. It is too early for an opinion.
P.S: I noticed WinMo gained some momentum - 9% (25 votes) so far!
Cheers
HTC cranks out Android handsets like candy corn – and we love that. The only downside to this, however, is that each new leak has us drooling before the last leak even has time to become a real product.
Our salivary glands were just warming up for the HTC Incredible and the HTC Legend, but now we’ve got the HTC Scorpion (possibly codenamed “Olympian”) to dream about. According to the very-latest of leaks, this thing might pack a scorchingly fast 1.5 Ghz processor and the as-of-yet unreleased Android v2.2.
The emphasis in that last sentence, though, should be placed on “might”. We’re by no means 100% convinced this thing exists. Someone hooked the guys over at AndroidSpin up with what is reportedly a build file from this “Scorpion” device. The catch here, is that this leak is purely text – no images, no video, and thus, nothing tough to fake.

This is good news!!!
Get Android 2.2 Froyo on the iPhone 3G
Yes, you heard right!
Don’t know what to do with your soon to be retired iPhone 3G? Just install Android 2.2 aka Froyo on it. Sure it’s currently totally useless and sluggish (and according to those who tried it; causes the device to run extremely hot after a few minutes, but here are the installation instructions
Dual vs Single.
Viewsonic Gtab is sporting the Nvidia dual-core Tegra cpu and I wanted to see how is compares to the Motorola Droid X single-core Texas Instrument OMAP 3630. I ran Softweg Benchmark app to compare results.

Wonder how much Gingerbread OS is factoring into the score difference? Looks like a lot of optimizing has been done with the Tegra processor. Rumors that the Droid X will be coming out with a dual-core processor also.
Forgive me if I'm being thick, but I'm not quite sure what you're trying to illustrate here. Are you trying to say that a dual-core chip doesn't suck against a single core chip? I think that the Optimus 2X is the only phone that is close to kicking our tab's butt and it has the same processor. So...what was this comparison meant to show?

I made 6 benchmark post for information. I like to see how device perform under different benchmarks so I have an idea how they perform. Easier to make decisions on price to performance. I'm convinced the Gtab is the best price/performance 10" tablet on the market. I tossed my Droid X in since it has plenty of users, lots of reviews and illustrates how much the Tegra cpu is bringing to the tablet/mobile world. Can you post your Optimus 2X numbers?
So I'm sure this has been asked before, but why is there no section for the Lumia 710? Either world or TMo version...orboth? It's a popular phone, maybe not as popular as some of the others...but it is.
Mostly all discussion is done in the WP section anyway.

If there are ever sales numbers released, or more than two ( 2 ) people raise Cane for a forum section....you'll see it happen.
Look at just how slow the wp7 GENERAL section proceeds. There is very little action in the entire section compared to some other phone models, let alone other os's.
For instance, there is a 3 hour pause in postings as seen in this screen shot, some phone model subsections don't even pause 3 minutes.

I think part of the problem is that it hasn't shown itself to be a very popular phone, and even if it is, its marketed toward first-time smartphone buyers, who really won't want to do anything with their phone, or know how to do it (let alone know what XDA even is).
Had it been a higher end phone, I'm sure it would have seen a board, but unfortunately, until it gains some ground or some kind of awesome Lumia 710/Nokia breakthrough is made, you probably won't see it here.

The Taiwanese manufacturer today released an official teaser for the device-within-a-device, boasting its display, processor, economical benefits, and impressive battery life.
For those who may have missed the specs sprinkled throughout the promo, here's what we know so far:
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor at 1.5GHz
4.3" Super AMOLED qHD display (the tablet features a 10.1" display, no word on resolution)
8MP rear shooter (featuring a 5-element f/2.2 lens)
Stylus/Headset accessory
Over 14,000mAh battery power between the pad, phone, and dock
Overall, the PadFone is still looking like a pretty intriguing device. Despite the fact that the video seems to have hit a speed-bump in editing (the entire sequence repeats itself sans audio), it still provides viewers with an official piece of media to confirm that the device is still coming. The release of an official promo could also mean that we're due for more information any time now. Source : AndroidPolice
At any rate, it will be interesting to see whether ASUS' unquestionably novel device can pull off the concept of a phone-powered tablet without coming off as merely a gimmick.
I just want to know a price on this. And what service providers the phone part is compatible with.
