      This is great! a multicore processor fo mobile phones.
      Mobile Tecnology is developing so fast.
      You wont be able to decide for a good mobile device cause when you finally decide for one that is even in manufacturing then suddenly a better hardware appears that could you change you mind and you will continue waiting for a smartphone that has it. So funny. Well at the moment i like HTC sense and it is between HTC Dragon and Sony Erisson Xperia X10. Android Rocks! and now Google already start to develop a software similar to appstore and itunes from apple but for Android, Also google now is thinking about making it's own phone. Working at Google would be so so so nice!. i'd be glad to.

          polo99a9, 22 Oct 2009i can't bellive how fast the mobile phone is evolving... 5 ... moreI acctualy used those 8088 and 8086 computers which are known as XT, I don't even remember how much was their speed but their next generation 80286 and later on ran at around 8mhz and that was A LOT of speed. 80386dx with TURBO speed of 25mhz and color monitor was my first pc with 2mb ram and it was like a center of attention in exhibitions or whereever I go, (They asked questions about it) and today I have more power, way too much more storage in my hands in shape of SE's P1, just Amazing.

            i can't bellive how fast the mobile phone is evolving... 5 years ago i just got my first camera phone (nokia 7250i) and 10 years ago my first cell phone (5110)... 10 years later, these phone have more storage capacity and computing power then my second computer (P3).

            i guess in 10 years i will be more amaze then ever.

If you want a powerful Android phone with the same performance as Maemo (or any other efficient OS, like Symbian), then you'll need a much more powerful phone.

                    That's perhaps why hi-res games such as Bounce aren't made for Android...
