Been a bit slow on here, decided to throw this up on here and see if we can get a discussion going.

MWC ends today, what did you all think?

On the phone side I have to say that personally I was disappointed with the announcements. Saw almost nothing that I cared for besides the Galaxy S II and that sounds like it is going to AT&T so not happening for me.

Tablets had some interesting announcements with the next Samsung Tab and the HTC Flyer. Sounds like Sony is developing a tablet as well, saw the concept design and it is compared to a magazine folded backwards. I like it in some ways but in other ways I'm not a fan of that bulkier end. Be interested to see a physical model.

NVIDIA showed off Kal-El, it's quad core mobile processor which it hopes will be in phones by the end of the year. That almost makes me want to wait but if I do that then I'll keep waiting on the latest and greatest. Definitely won't get a single core phone, that much I know for sure. Heck the dual cores are already considered much more powerful than what is needed for the time, quad core is probably going to be a lot of extra power for nothing that won't be taken advantage of for quite a while.

I was just thinking...Man I really want a quad cpu phone!!!, Then I realized what has happened to laptops. The battery life would be horrible, hell I can "barely" get thru a day now without having to keep a charging cord in my back pocket. I do have ATT, stuck with it for next year or so. Seems about right to me, they should be getting at least a duel cpu phone, with front facing cam and of course it has to be ANDROID.

Motorola Atrix would be such a phone, coming out Feb 22nd.

Yeah, I think NVIDIA said battery life is one of the things being focused on right now but they said that the quad core doesn't suck up that much more juice. Of course what they say and the actual reality might be two very different things at the moment.

All I know is my next phone is likely going to be more powerful than my previous desktop.
