@pyq1: You can do all that. You can get apps from the Market, but you can also sideload them from your PC (just check something in Settings first). You can backup stuff to SD card.

@lucian.armasu01: as much as iPad*

@blyan is not on fire: Really? Every single one? I dare you to show me ONE article that calls an Android tablet an iPad killer. Even Google said Android pre-3.0 is not meant for tablets. I don't think anyone expected Android tablets before Xoom to be killers.

@pantsonfireliarliar: Samsung should launch one soon in February or March.

@Marthinus Swart: People with brains wouldn't get an iPad or iPhone in the first place. iPad and iPhone purchases are mostly emotional decisions because "whoaa..it looks so pretty!". I don't think 95% of people buying those do a whole lot of research on the products or rationalize the decision too much.

I thought you were going to advise us not to buy it because Apple's dick move with content providers like Sony and Amazon.

@Monty: Yup. Android is quickly becoming the "Windows of mobiles". How ironic it must be for Microsoft.

News flash, Brian - thats 33% global market share that Android has now - not year over year growth. That one was 600%+

@KamWrex: The videos showed the UI wasn't very smooth, too. Would you trust an Indian start-up to optimize the performance of the software on Tegra 2, or the Android team themselves and their direct collaboration with Nvidia to ensure Android 3.0 Honeycomb will take maximum advantage of the 2 cores and of the GPU…

@dtptampa: Halfway would mean SGX535, but it seems weaker than that.

@KamWrex: I wouldn't put much trust into that. Adam software is pretty buggy and might influence your view of Tegra 2. I hear it works much better with stock Android.

Chrome OS and Android are no more competing than WP7, WinCE and Win7 are with each other.

@m0m0: Playstation Suite games that will work on Android 2.3+ phones will also work on PSP2. This means PSP3 could easily transition to Android OS...but you'll have to wait another 5 year for that I think

@ImSpartacus: You mean like Xperia Play? (a bit smaller though). Too bad they didn't put at least a dual core chip in that phone, though. It uses last year's specs, while PSP2 seems to have 2012 specs.

@phitch: 4-5 hours of gaming

@ImSpartacus: Because they decided to quadruple the pixels of PSP1, which had a 480x272 resolution. I don't know why they went with a 272 instead of 270 resolution in the first place, though. Weird design decision.

@horseflesh: What do you mean? It's rumored that Apple will use the same SGX543 GPU (probably just 1 or 2 cores) and a dual core Cortex A9 CPU.

@sam4sb: Oh no, what will game developers do?! Poor guys never had to do a multiple resolution game before!

I sense that we'll see HTC falling behind other companies in the first half of this year, with their phones and tablets, and all because they refuse to use anything but Qualcomm chips, which is why HTC will be late to the dual-core party.

@AreWeThereYeti: They'll introduce first QNX phone in 2012, and they'll need at least a year of QNX phones before they see it's not working. Then they'll have to plan for an Android phone and everything that involves. I'd say you won't see an Android phone from RIM until 2014-2015.
