Kind of like iTunes for Windows. Runs faster on my Hacktosh'd Dell Mini than my 3.5 GHz quad core gaming rig. Is there even an excuse for that?

I mean smoothness-wise. The Gingerbread UI is definitely not smooth at 1 GHz. Fast, yes, but smooth, no. Currently the only remotely smooth Android phone available is the SGS2. All of the others can be made usably smooth by rooting and flashing an AOSP ROM, but still no where near iOS/WP7 smooth.

Overclocking/custom ROMs are useless for 90% of the population...you know the population that works and has no time to screw with their shit. Teenagers can use their time making their phones "their own", but others want something sufficiently beautiful and fast out of the box. Android doesn't have that. Aside from the…

No...WP7 runs fine on 1 GHz. So does iOS. It's Android that needs insane performance for seemingly no reason.

I know that...I was referring to games at that resolution.

Please tell me that's the 2nd gen Exynos and not the OMAP 4460.

Because the SGX 540 will die at 1280x720. I'm not asking for 4S level graphics, but at least better than the SGS2, which this isn't.

Please Google...don't use the OMAP 4460.

An OMAP 4460? Really? GTFO Google. I was expecting the second gen Exynos 4212...now I'm stuck with the piece of junk SGX 540? No. You do not make a flagship phone that's outdated on launch.

You can say stuff like "Hey what's the weather and time in New York right now?" or "What's the square root of 2?" or "Find me the nearest Chinese restaurant"....and she will do it.

I know that. Just pointing out the uselessness of the 500ms improvmeent in SunSpider. Just as useless as this...no practical use for this since no games for at least another year will use the power. Benchmarks are not equal to real world experience...Period.

Oh god I can save an second in Javascipt loading times! But look! At the A5 has over twice the graphics muscle compared to the Exynos!

What do you mean? The iOS counterparts run at 960x640 on the iPhone 4. But the ports to Android look like ass.

The 3GS runs at 480x320. It runs as smooth as any 4th gen device.

There's also this capability...oh right...all Android games are poorly ported low res only iOS titles.

Actually having a nice assortment of quality apps optimized for tablet displays?

Metro sucks? The BF2 styled maps are still there. But BF2 has absolutely terrible infantry combat. So DICE added a second type of map, like Metro, that gives BF3 a proper mix of large scale and small scale combat.

First of all beta does not mean demo.

How 'bout the Desire HD/Inspire 4G?

Well CryEngine 3.3 is superior. So is Frostbite 2. Who needs Unreal?
