Whats the Big Surprise here??....ASUS already has the the QUAD Core Tablet(Prime) and the Samsung S3 is already being tested at Google Campus with Quad-Core..Apple is always late in the game to bring better Hardware as their Product Life Cycle is min 2 years ....but its good they are now catching up quicker with the current market....Good Luck to iPhone & iPad Users...we can see some more good stuff from Apple.

              I'm getting bored with this kind of news. Don't even bothered to read past first line.
              Iphone 6-7-8 hell even 20. So what. So what. Hype is gone, old story. Not going to fall to hype of any kind any more. I did remember that all of us did expect something big from iphone 5 (4s) hype was BIG. but even if they come with i don't know let's say teleportation, SO WHAT. Big deal

                Darkangels6sic6, 07 Jan 2012The Vita as far as grachics and games goes.. Wins hands dow... moreOr u can buy ipod touch which is pretty good at everything and also has decent internet , iPod-like-music-player,supports many apps(not only games) and battery is very good like 38 hours audio.

                i use mine everyday , and games are awesome real racing 2 , dead space etc. I am no serious gamer but i like ipod touch as all-in-one device rather than gaming device.
                I used many mp3 players but ipod touch has the best battery for music and fits into my car stereo input and also 7.1 surround system. (by default without any extra accessory).
                its very thin to hold i have long fingers.

                but coming to Vita , it has no single advantage over my iTouch for my usage , and it wont support my audio systems.
                grrrr....

                i liked galaxy player 5.0 since i get good grip as my fingers are long and it has big battery of 2500 mah or so (not sure) but it doesnt have 30 pin connector.

                last year i was happy that galaxy tab used same 30 pin connector as iphones/ipods (to support my audio) and heard about galaxy player coming soon but apple law suits diverted samsung to use diff pins later.
                currently i have no choice.

                i need to replace my old 5800 express music soon with lumia or some other windows 7 phone.

                my dad had galaxy s2 honestly i think its just a over rated phone(no offence).
                it can do nothing , doesnt support microsoft office or Apple's iWork since it runs android.

                i use Microsoft Office-desktop/iWork-my-bro's-laptop .
                So i have 2 choices windows 7 or iOS.

                  Anonymous, 07 Jan 2012Android html5 performance is crap. Just look this: http... moreOk, where do u use HTML5, cuz there is lots of content in Flash. And still, android at least supports it and doesnt just throw it in a dump. Android will improve html5 implementation when it is logic to be implemented in a good way.

                  It just like me saying, that Cars running with fuel are outdated and electric cars are better. True, but electric cars are not researched enough for daily use and if you buy a car today, you will get a Car running on Fuel, maybe a hybrid, but not a totally electric car, because it is not the right time today.

                  Does telling you, that electric cars are the future make me as innovative as steve jobs? No it doesnt, because what he said where no innovation.

                  Most people dont even really know, what Steve Jobs really made for the tech industry, all stupid iFans just own an iPad and iPhone adn envy him for this, but his real inventions are far greater, but an iFan like u dont know of it, I BET!

In things like FLASH IS DEAD AND STEVE WAS RIGHT is complete nonsense and shows nothing more but your applefanboyism. Flash might die in the next years from now... but why dont YOU tell me, where do you find HTML5 things on the net, NOW (which can outperform flash)? What do you need HTML5, NOW. Get it? I dont need HTML5 support now, I need flash support, NOW. HTML5 support I need in 5 years maybe, but not NOW. So tell me, what do you use your HTML5 support, NOW? And tell me something else, do you buy your iPhone to use it NOW or in 5 years? How often do you change your phone? As a true Applefanboy as you seem you are, you at least change it every 2 years, like normal... So if HTML5 is supported by a wide range in 5 years and you change your phone every 2 years, what do you need HTML5 for? And if you change your device every 2 years and Flash wont die in just 2 years, the use of FLASH is so much bigger than HTML5 (so much bigger doesnt even sound like enough). It like buying a phone which support 6G network, even though there is nowhere a 6G network is to be found, so what is it for?

                    You say Flash is dead... not true, maybe it is dying, but your so precious HTML5 isnt even born yet and far from being mature, so what would be the smarter choice for the next 2 years to buy, something that is widely supported in the net, or something that got barely even startet?

                          Well, your understanding of tech doesn't seem to be much better. FYI: yes, modern desktop PCs can (and do) use 4+ cores most of the time, and no, games are not the most power hungry applications.

Android also supports html5 leading me to the argument with android being better. It supports all apple does and more! And you can't honestly tell me if youre offered something more for free you turn it down! iOS is for fashionista people who require an easy phone to use because they dont understand! Where are widgets for iOS? Oh yea non-existant.. yet they are extremely helpful!

                                  Android = big boy lego bricks
                                  iOS = big baby duplo.

So Steve was right all the time. I have to agree, flash for mobile is just doesn't work like it work with computer, other hand html5 works perfectly smooth even with iPhone 3GS.

                                    It's very rare where you need flash nowdays (thanks for iPad) after iPad came flash sites started to provide non flash material very fast :)

                                    Also if you really need flash somewhere appstore can give you browser which support it. For example puffin browser give you full flash experience it shows ads and websites fully flash.

                                    I don't even remember when i needed flash last time. Also i think the whole flash is so overrated, before i bought iOS device i thought it's big cons but it wasn't at all.

                                    Flash with computer is great, it works just like it meant to work.

SG Nexus no flash support at launch. Doesn't have Chrome OS on it. At least Apple understand how to develop and innovate even if they don't have the original idea.
