Scorpion > Cortex-A8.
So, it seems to me Qualcomm is getting beaten to the punch by everybody for the quadcore solution.
First it was nVidia, then Huawei, and next month likely both Samsung quadcore in Galaxy S3 and then Apple in iPad 3. That's worrysome, especially getting beaten by comapny like Huawei which is in the exact same telecom equiptment business.
Is there any LTE/Quadcore solution coming to the US? If both Verizon and ATT insist on putting LTE on all phones, will we see any quadcore solution until Quadcomm come through? Didn't Motorola use its own LTE radio? Can they slap Tegra 3 and their LTE radio together?

any news/rumor on when this is coming to the US?
Dear god I want one.

Available March 5 unlocked. includes US 3G bands (850/1900)
or you can get the ATT version:
The two Krait cores will be better for everyday use.
People seem to like the clear plastic bar but to me it just draws attention to the fact that the device is the best part of an inch longer than is necessary for a screen of that size.any news/rumor on when this is coming to the US?
Score higher than Tegra 3 in non fantasy world? I don't know about that.

Is there any news on AmEx coming to Google Wallet? I thought they made a deal with Google a while ago, but are so far MIA.
I'm sure that the chip on the cmos would do that for you. I don't think that the camera will produce 41mp pictures, that's just the number of light bins on the cmon substrate.
You can reduce your shot noise by adding them up, per distributed area (I think), while keeping the readout noise flat.
is that t-mobile or at&t?
looks like AT&T
Jelly Bean being teased:
Can't wait to see what changes Duarte will make and what new APIs it will have.
The comment section...lol

4 face buttons? aren't 3 is the standard from ics?
not shipping with ics
Well google could have done more. How about releasing 4.0.codes on OMAP, snapdrogon and Tegra platforms at the same time?
That's up to the chipset/harwdware mfgs.
See that mindset is wrong.
Google could have made the mobile world a better place by helping more phones move to 4.0 instead of spending resource on 5.0
This is why shit like Google wallet and google music is not popular, google deserve it.
JB isnt even coming until 2013. Im not sure why them leaking the name ahead of time like they always do makes people think 4.0 is dead and JB is releasing tomorrow. They dont even have a manufacturer yet chosen for the next Nexus yet, let alone launched JB. Seriously take those nonsensical overreactions back to Engadget comment sections.
Google always develops two branches concurrently. Right now they are developing jelly bean as well the next one while maintaining the current base, it's nothing new.
Once the aosp the code they still work with companies. The next step would be to develop it like ms does windows but that's the opposite of what they want to do.
Also a majority of the functions for ics are able to be backported ( fragments, action bar, etc).
Who cares about google's development model. They can make the model whatever they want. I am saying the shit (google music and google wallet) they push are not popular becasue they deserve it. Karma!

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
How would anyone know if they're in that program? What are the eligibility requirements?
why do you think it's not coming until 2013? Seems they've been on at LEAST one major update per year, and I believe they said they are transitioning to an update every 6-months. It's only February, we didn't know who was making the Galaxy Nexus til around August I think.
Verge says they are looking into it... they aren't sure either.
But I think you would have received an email by now if you were eligible.
Call up and find out, my sister's husband qualified because he burns through data and she doesn't. Even the csr was surprised about the free Nexus.
Because the only quote we ever got from Duarte about the timeline on the next major Android release was that 5.0 was going to take longer than 3.0 to 4.0 took. Then someone posted a link baiting article in February about Android 5.0 coming in Q2 of this year, and everyone went nuts.
I think a better question is When you say the next version of Android are you talking about 4.1? Or are you talking about 5.0. Because theres a big ass difference there. 4.1 is to be expected, most mobile OS's have those mini updates that add new things, but a whole new full scale 5.0 is a long ways off, and it wont be around until the next Nexus device is. When I hear people saying JB, I assume they are referring to 5.0 and not 4.1 so, maybe the wires are getting crossed here.

It's because they just throw it out there, and then move on, not bothering to offer real support, awareness,or marketing. The fact they're winking about Jellybean when something like 1% of the Android userbase is on ICS is just horrible. I can't believe we're getting phones previewed NOW that still plan to launch with Gingerbread. Cause you know, it takes 6+ months to develop a shitty skin for ICS that does nothing but fuck up the OS. But hey, as long as it as quad (or more) cores it's all good.
You seem like an angry person. You should calm down, better for your health.
Well....you asked why they are spending resources on developing android instead of code to support chipsets.
Those are the reasons and how they go about doing it.
I'm not even sure what you mean by the karma and deserving comment.

what are you going to do after rooting? some root apps require it. like Titanium Backup.
Heh Titanium Backup's not the best example since it comes with its own Busybox built in.
ICS for x86
My CR48 might get some new life breathed into it after all.
p.s. that Google Music layout is the one that presents itself in Google TV.

I would shit myself. Again, if the pentile isnt even noticable without really looking for it, I cant imagine it would be an issue at that high of a DPI either. Crazy. No way its AMOLED+ though, not at 1080P its not.
Fucker better have a 3k mAh battery too with that big ass screen.
Its up on a few sites, I think the originator though is like BGR or some other shit, thats why I didnt post it earlier.
I was just going install a new kernel so I can use new governors/IO schedulers and possibly do the V6 Supercharger on it (yeah, that requires having busybox installed). I don't really see that many things that require it actually :S
Good 'ol BGR
That ceramic quit is on a whole other level of bullshit. I'll gladly eat crow if it's true, but come on
The HTC 1 S has a "ceramic" back that's created out of treating aluminium.
The guys on the Vergecast were just gushing over how beautiful the One S and X were. One of them said the One X rivalled the N9 in it's beauty.
Listening to the Verge podcast right now. These guys seem to be really into the HTC One line. They called the One X's screen the best screen ever, called the One X's material the best material ever, and called the One S the sexiest thing they had seen. :lol
They also seemed to like Sense 4.0 a lot and one of the guys thought that they would set a new standard for camera quality on Android.
