And you should have Sony playing with this group sometime next year too! Id say they will give something like the PS Vita, hardware wise...

Exciting times ahead thats for sure!

The thing is, Sony probably wont have the same little twinkle in its eye without Ericsson - for me anyway.

Anyway, heres my usual GSMarena links i always seem to post, but they are very good at delivering mobile news in a digestible form.

See how the new Nvidia Tegra 3 works and what it’s capable of, my favourite and most exciting looking future quad core cpu, which will hopefully power the Galaxy S3, or even ARM announces new Mali-T658 mobile GPU, promises 10x performance boost - which again will hopefully be around by spring next year.

This is why we need quad core cpu's Bonovox - so much more is possible with progress.

I never get why we get so many GSMarena links here. but thats another story

just this week we had the first quad core tablet announced from Acer so its clear the first phones will not be far behind once the O/S support it (otherwise whats the point!)

I think its because out of all the sites, GSMarena are the most factual, unbiased and have a pretty simple old school style website. You go to Engadget and you have nothing but Apple bias and a complicated cluttered webpage. Ive tried most or all of the technology websites but find them to be the best by far.

In that previous link, if you watch all the Nvidia videos of the Tegra 3, they look very impressive especially where games are concerned.

quad core and much more is coming in mobile devices... believe me... making hardware for this is relatively easily but it is largely dependant on o/s support (utilising the cores and multi threading etc efficiently requires o/s, compiler etc support), but it will happen as demand/battery and other factors allow/require

a year ago I remember many topics discussing the need for dual core but here we are now somewhat dismissive when a device is announced without that!



Quad-Core will finally allow us developers to code apps directly on the smarpthones or better yet the tablets the masses use ... buying a PC with a traditional HDD or more than a MBAir will be even harder to consider since just about ALL tablets being released now have worldwide and multi-band and multi airwave connectivity (HSPA/EDGE/GPRS/LTE, WLAN, Bluetooth).

Good times ahead! ...

Masseur ... those Pentium 1 days is really telling our age man.

What?!! Pass on an upgrade just to wait for quad-core?!! Are you guys for real?

Etaab, I thought you'd know better than this!

Are you sure you know what you're talking about?

@ false_morel - the reason ive now decided to pass on by the Nexus is the same reason why i decided to pass on by the iPhone 4S. Its the same phone as the Galaxy S2 pretty much except for slightly lower specs in some areas like the camera megapixel count, its only got a few new hardware functions such as its HD screen and NFC over the S2 and the obvious ICS. If im going to be tied to a phone for two years, i prefer it to be as up to date as possible. The S2 has been out since May, so its already 6 months old now which in smartphone terms is almost nearing the end of its lifespan.

So i'll be upgrading my contract when the S3 or some other worthy upgrade hits the market. The 4S disappointed me dramatically, as did the Nexus but not so bad but still in two years time if i were still stuck with the Nexus id be getting very impatient. Hopefully next year the S3 will be Tegra 3 (or another variation of quad core) equipped.

So as much as i appreciate up to date software and playing around with what you could consider a true vanilla running Android smartphone, adding just a HD screen to a Galaxy S2 and calling it a completely new phone isnt enough for me.
