hehe totally agree... that would sum it up...
BUT... wake me up when September ends!

- integrated mind reading processor (the phone will understand you)
- integrated offline version of speech to text
- perfect natural language processing
Don't forget with that

Manufacturer: Samsung
Display: 4 inch, calibrated Super AMOLED+
Processor: 1.2 Ghz Dual-Core
Camera: Doesnt matter, I think the Nexus S's camera is good enough
Round corners, curves. Contour display.
1 GB RAM
16/32 GB ROM
SD CARD SLOT
4G
Build material: Plastic, but a little more grip at the back. Black.
The reason I am going for Samsung again, is because I like their hardware. As you can see the device I want looks like an upgraded Nexus S. I think the design of the Nexus S is fantastic, but a little more grip would do it for the back. Also, Super AMOLED+ got rid of many of the disadvantages Super AMOLED had, like PenTile. Only thing that bothers me is that the colors are a little bit too oversaturated. That is why I like LCD better, for now.
But it would be awesome if there was a way to calibrate the colors, so that you can choose normal (like Motorola Droid), oversaturated (like Galaxy S) or custom. That, with the advantages of LED, and no stupid PenTile, would be an awesome display!

Realistically, the next Nexus would probably be something like this:
Manufacturer: Motorola or HTC
Display: 4-4.3" 960x640 to 1280x720 resolution (either sLCD or sAMOLED)
CPU: OMAP4 or Tegra 2 for Motorola, QSD8672 for HTC (all dual core)
GPU: SGX540 for OMAP4, Adreno 220 for HTC
RAM: 1GB LPDDR-266
Storage: 16/32GB plus microSD
Camera: 8MP with flash
Misc: Dual mic, FFC, 4G, NFC, Wireless b/g/n, 1600mAh battery, ~9mm thick
What would I like to see (while still within the realm of reality)?
Manufacturer: HTC
Display: 4-inch 1280x720 (any sort of OLED, Sony is working on some nice displays)
CPU: Qualcomm MSM8960 (1.5GHz dual core)
GPU: Adreno 300 (200m+ tri/s)
RAM: 1GB LPDDR-400
Storage: 16GB (to keep costs down) plus mircoSD
Camera: 12MP microlense zooming with dual LED flash
Misc: Dual mic, FFC, 4G, NFC, Wireless b/g/n, 1800mAh battery, ~9mm thick

guys, what about a nexus from nokia?
now for me that would be a dream come true. the best combo of hardweare and softweare. it could be a great hit. i would love for something like this ro become a reality.
anybody agree with me on that one, or am i just a lone dreamer?...

on the other topic it was already said to be a joke only when he mentioned
but Nokia is indeed looking to partner up with other OS markers
but there are no solid confirmation if they are going one way or another
they basically opened the doors and are inviting prospective OS partners for their phones
don't be surprised to see a Nokia running Apple's iOS
but chances seems to be Nokia seems to be favoring Microsoft
however Android has the market dominance in the long run, it'll not be smart for Nokia to not choose Android and partner with Google
if they do, we'll most likely see "Nexus N"

I just hope the Nexus 2 will be made by a company with better outer casing

I guess so but there really is nothing bad with the shell of the NS. It only feels cheap because its glossy plastic. I've dropped my phone quite a few times and its never even chipped. I have no scratches on the screen or the back. I'm quite happy with the SNS and my only hope for the next Nexus is just that it be better than anything else on the market

*ahem* in light of recent news:
http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2011/02/11/hitachi-to-offer-improved-smartphone-lcd-display/
it seems like, soon, we'd have the same number of pixels on our phone display as a 55" full HD TV

Yegads, my apologies. I was in a rush, saw "Meijer" and $531, and jumped to conclusions. Thanks for the clarification (and patience) and I'll check it out.

Looks like they pulled it from the website, as a search for Xoom shows "We couldn't find any results for xoom, but we found 958 matches for room."

Yeah sold out...

No results for "motorola xoom". Or did you mean material zoom?

Toshiba excite 7.7 vs samsung 7.7?

Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts if I should just wait for the toshiba to come out instead of buying a samsung 7.7, both have basically the same screens, the toshiba comes with ics (whereas the samsung is still awaiting that) the toshiba has a better processor, etc, but is heavier and larger, anyone else have any thoughts? One advantage to buying an unlocked international samsung tab 7.7 is I could use it as a phone, whereas the toshiba's phone capabilities will be stunted when it comes to the us. Specs for the toshiba excite 7.7 are below.

I was holding off for the toshiba, because the screen, and the powerfull chip, but i got tyred of waiting so i bought the p6800. Only regrets?
no ICS. . .

"whereas the toshiba's phone capabilities will be stunted when it comes to the us"
I didnt really get that
is it only gonna be stunted in the US? or it it gonna be stunted everywhere?
the excite have phone call capabilities or not?

I got this tablet for the screen. Halted before purchase to check out the toshiba excite. The clencher was the tegra3 processor. A developer that made a screencasting app can't get it to work on tegra processors, and the only reason I wanted a tablet to screencast drawings I make on it. I know I could have gone with the new ipad, but ---bleck, I hate apple....

Someone get the tosiba 7.7 and we will have devs working to port ics over here ^^

Has anyone seen it in retail?
I've been scouting local Best Buys, Fry's and Office Depot. Nothing in my local stores yet and I've been looking at the overstock in the cages. Best Buy has it listed but that's all...

I think its out next week. I wanna check it out too.

i just bought the Tab 7.7. But if this thing has phone capabilities too then this means I can use my ATT unlimited data phone sim with it. Will likely make the switch. Waiting to hear back from Toshiba about it.

I'd love to upgrade one Monitor to 144Hz refresh, but that's just not affordable and also, I think I'm in good shape with the RAM I have now but I'm open to ideas and suggestions.
One thing about monitors. I have 2 60Hz 3840x2160 4K Monitors. Every 144Hz I look at has a res of 2560x1440. Why would a higher refresh rate only be found on lower resolution monitors and what will the visual difference be?

@HipKat from my assumption, your setup isn't for gaming, right? Or why do you want 144Hz?

It's for everything,. Gamin is a big part of that as is Adobe Graphics programs, streaming, etc.
Looking at prices and the time of year, I'm going to work on the Monitors first

OK, you can see a difference in FPS games where usual 60Hz are not enought and you're facing tearing when you move or turn around very fast, but this might be wanted(some games have options for blurring, tearing, DOF).
So if you don't play FPS and need 144Hz, you can skip this option in my opinion. I played also with low end 8ms LCD's long time ago in times where 144 or even 60Hz monitors are not invented

I'm curious why you are upgrading to an RTX 2060? For that price you can get an RTX 3070 if you are patient.

Price was the number one reason, but I've got some gamer friends who tell me the 20 series is pretty underwhelming. Right now, I'm standing pat until after the year ends to see where things are with GPU prices and chip availability.
A new primary Monitor is at the top of the list
