Rigghhhtttt. Cos it's not like 4.03 onwards speeds up autorotate and
vastly increases performance of multitasking and improves the browser too. Y'know things I use every day on my Galaxy Nexus and would make positive and significant differences to my user experience. Plus a whole heap of other stuff. It's not like AOSP 4.03 has been on release for like 2 months now. It's not like Asus, HTC and Samsung have released official 4.03 roms for non Nexus phones. I'm obviously going totally over the top for asking Google to communicate better as to when Nexus owners can expect a rough idea of what is going on with the GSM updates :-/

http://blog.laptopmag.com/tablet-chip-showdown-nvidia-tegra-3-vs-the-new-ipads-a5x
that's the only benchmark Tegra 3 won
It massively lost the GLP benchmark and it also slightly lost in the sunspider benchmark, although the sunspider one is dependent on the type of browser you're using.
Overall, the Tegra 3 basically has the better CPU and the A5X has the better GPU. I wonder if they're going to use the A5X in the next iPhone as you don't need such GPU power in a screen with that resolution.
Yep. On the other hand, I'm almost as hyped for the unveiling as I usually am for an Apple event. If Samsung actually delivers (phone and tablet) it would be epic. I hope with all these crazy rumors swirling around that Samsung doesn't forget the basics. I'd rather have a plastic phone with led notifications and a shutter button than a ceramic phone with fancy wireless editing...
All Palm/HP inductive charging devices were made with a plastic backing though. Has any been made of ceramic?

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I'll say this. After seeing the GSII, GN, and ICS the perfect storm might have created a hype train for an Android device like none other. The pre release hype for this seems EXTREMELY high.

Old tech, bro.
the fuck? a meter away???? :O who does that?
Haven't we known this for a while

The 5250 will probably be in a tablet first before a phone.
Yay, will get it if the rumored specs are correct. I dont need quad core craziness, just a great screen, ICS, and great battery. And it looks like the bezel on this Razr is smaller than the current Razr which is extra nice.
Ah sorry, yea I have the AT&T version so I don't know. What I normally do is check the XDA forums and get the ROM that has the most thread views and posts. Usually a good sign of which one is the most popular/good. CM9 is probably a good bet

Playstation Vita has a 960x544 res screen and it uses PowerVR SGX543MP4+.
Seconded. Latest nightly based on Samsung's ICS source is really good and so much better than the god-awful crap Samsung released last week.

FoxFi - WiFi/Bluetooth tethering without root access! Seriously!
a friend of mine mentioned this app to me and i was amazed to see that it exists and works.

Well, if it's a pentile display that would be disappointing. That is not something I was aware of at the time, but then it has only been just announced. In terms of resolution I am fully aware it is a lower res screen. That is why I put 'qHD' in brackets. qHD however is a pretty decent resolution for a 4.3 inch screen. It is the same resolution as my sensation XE in fact. I was looking at it more in terms of overall quality of the screen. In other words, the One S has the advantage of super AMOLED while the One X has the advantage of a higher resolution screen. It is an alternative rather than necessarily a downgrade. qhD is more than adequate though.
However, pentile does change things a little.
Of course I was looking at it in terms of the One X having a Tegra 3 chipset. Wasn't aware of the other version. It is unclear if the snapdragon version will make it to the UK (perhaps not) so could be irrelevant to me anyway. Could be irrelevant to anyone outside of US even.
Do you have a link for the pentile screen information?
1-click tether does the same thing, though it's a little finicky.
How so? I'm genuinely curious. I'm running official ICS on my SGSII and find it decent so far.

Just got the ICS update for my GS2 on Three (UK). Pretty meh overall although it is snappier and I've now downloaded Chrome for android, which is awesome. Will be installing CM9 or Pure ICS as soon as the bugs are ironed out.

Not everyone is into that iPhone coat of paint.

Of all the manufacturer skins I've encountered, TW on the GS2 is the lesser evil but it has always found a way to frustrate me everyday I've had it after coming from my N1. Amazed I've waited this long to root but made do with ADW for a while.
Are you skeptical of the physics?
Wireless weed, yo.
it looks like it's smoking its 3rd arm

That happened to me once. I put the phone down and thought I'll get the game later.
4 hours later the game was automatically downloaded.
Not to shit on your parade but my mums SGS gets around 4 days battery life thanks to using about 1% of its capacity lol I'm very jelly with my 1 1/2 days of battery with the GNex

Rooted my SGS2 and installed Pure ICS. Seems great so far, will have to get used to a few things after being institutionalised by Touchwiz for the past 8 months.

Installed a custom kernal from here to root my phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 (using Odin) and then downloaded and flashed the Pure ICS ROM (not stock ICS but pretty close) from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1451346
Have been toying with it for the past few hours. May keep it, may end up on CM9.

If it makes you guys feel any better: I'll probably sell my 4S and get a Nexus/SIII if iOS 6 disappoints me.

that thread is comedy gold.
if you're not already disappointed, iOS6 would have to remove features to be disappointing.
