2ghz Gingerbread 3.0 hitting market next month?

**WARNING** If you happen to be one of the few satisified X10 customer who are happy with your device and wouldn't change a thing, you may want to stop reading now.
For the rest of us it is really time to start getting excited; not about the X10. Unless of course you are stuck in one of those 3 year Rogers contracts. But for Gingerbread!
Xmas 2010 is looking bright, very bright.
Gingerbread 3.0 is expected to be released in time for the season of giving. Possibly as early as three weeks from now. So hopefully each of us will have a little extra budget to pick out the gifts that we will be giving our favorite person for Xmas; ouselves So the question for us X10 users is would you trade your X10 in for this?
Strong rumers are starting to spread about what these 3.0 devices will offer under the hood:
Things like:
2ghz, 1280x760 resolution that will put iphone to shame, minimum 4" displays, 1020p hd, no third party UI, micro sdXc with a minimum 64gb, webM with VP8 video codec, and much more...
It is possible the first two out might be the new SE psp2 slider, and the Samsung Galaxy s2.The new devices still wont cook your breakfast, but they will do just about everything else.
Maybe they will look like one of the devices below.

You might want to get your X10 on ebay now!

That's cool...
This is an X10 sub forum though so this thread doesn't belong here..
MOD : can you please move this to the general Android section?
Thanks

Yeah these guys don't like it when you rub salt in the wound, att just got the x10, for some this whole "future" technology is witchcraft.

Nice. How about pre-ordering this beauty and putting it on ebay immediately, just because next summer new quad core 3GHz HD 3D HTC device comes loaded with Android 3.5?

last month's rumor
have a read at this,
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/ht...012855625_sony_boss_on_move_vs_kinect_ps.html
Does this talk about the PlayStation brand signal more products coming soon -- maybe a new mobile device?
"No new mobile launches this year."
Will you be extending the brand to other company's hardware that runs PlayStation games?
"Our strategy is to maintain the PlayStation brand on Sony devices and provide experiences that are exclusive and proprietary."

would be nice if they do make an SE PSP phone, seeing how they want to be the leading company for android smartphones but seeing how things are, I doubt we'll be seeing anything this year, probably next year
and yes, this thread doesnt belong here, speak of new phones should be at android section

HA next month... the only thing SE will be doing next month... or any month after that.. will be finding a way to delay whatever's next on their schedule

So thats why MT is disabled! So that we buy it for gaming Snes games rule with MT. Even better with hardware controler But than again I'm not a real mobile-gamer.

ARM announced that 1.2 GHz processors will be out early 2011 and 1.5 GHz will come late 2011, So whose gonna make 2 GHz before this Xmas?

Duh, SE is going to use the new Core i7s and a GeForce graphics card!

I won't buy a slider phone, they don't feel solid to me at all. Let's hope that they make a touch only version, just like what they did with X10 mini and mini pro and also Vivaz and Vivaz pro ..

Pretty sure there would be more buzz if gingerbread was around the corner. I don't think there would be that much demand for a psp phone. Sure its cool but how many people need a phone that plays console-like games?
It may happen, but I don't think it will be a great success. The psp wasn't a great success to begin with.

I would have thought Google would time the announcement of Gingerbread to compete with the launch of WP7... let's see what happens
And psp I think was a pretty big success...
according to wiki the console is "the most successful non-Nintendo handheld game system ever sold"
Actually, LOL nvm what I said above

PSP is the highest selling console, week in and week out in Japan, for the past two years.
If that's not "succesful" I don't know what is.

no, SE's motivating us into buying their opponents next device.

If you think that SE is alone in doing something like this, you're the most naive person on earth.
Just look at HTC and the Desire. A few months after release, they re-release it with a better screen, then a month after that, announce a new phone with everything people wanted from the first model.
Look at Nintendo... they just keep releasing the same system with a different config every few years.
It's called business.

Thinking of buying Galaxy Tab

Heyy,
Im a huggeee android fan n was looking forward to getting an android tablet next month...before buyin i wanted to ask some questions regarding the tablet.
1. Will it get honeycomb update? Is the hardware powerful or outdated to the dual core chips?
2. How is the video calling on it? Which software can i use for Video chatting on PC and tablet?
3. Is there any other alternative tablet better than this? Is it gonna be outdated in a few months due to the hardware??
4. Can I put custom Roms in it? Or its not possible?
Thanksss

Then I'd say wait it out.

If you're a huge Android fan you'd already have a Tab!
My advise is, if you can wait, wait. Personally, i've been waiting a long time for a decent Android tablet - I even bought a cheap chinese iRobot, and had a Huawei S7 on preorder (cancelled when the shipping date kept slipping).
So far, the Tab has exceeded my expectations for an Android tablet, given that the OS is supposedly "not optimized" for tablets, which is a phrase that many reviews have used, but few (if any) have actually demonstrated due to incredibly lazy journalism.

Dave

Indeed! Just look at the comments in most of the reviews, and this invariably crops up time and time again from people who haven't even tried the Tab!
When an iPad displays an iPhone app in a "window", it's a feature of the OS that allows the tablet to take advantage of the iPhone ecosystem, yet when the Tab does the same for Android apps it's because the OS is "not optimized" for tablets.
Got to love those reviews that say that Android doesn't support the Tab's native resolution, when in actuality it supports any resolution and a well-coded app can take advantage of it. All because it's not an "official" Market resolution, which Google could "fix" by just saying that it is so!

Dave

Couldn't have said it any better!

I've been a long time WM fan, but just got a Tab about an hour ago! cant wait to try it out properly! i used a demo at carphone warehouse and it is the ideal android device, its very quick! im new to the android world so i dont know much. but i highly recommend it!

Thanks for the help guys....i know the OS its not optimized for the device but will it support gingerbread and honeycomb or the processor is too weak for that?
Also will it support custom roms like cyanogen?

Well ive been a Windows fan for some years but ive had my galaxy tab for over a week now and i cant put it down, im really happy with it

Here, answers below in red.

1. Will it get honeycomb update? Is the hardware powerful or outdated to the dual core chips?
The 1ghz Hummingbird and PowerVR 540GX GPU is the most powerful single core SOC on the market right now, and it's arguably competive or superior to the Tegra 2 in graphics performance as well. It can handle 2.3 just fine, and should be good for 2.4 or whatever version number Honeycomb gets as well. Nobody can answer if Samsung will support it, but the community should have all the tools to do so as well.
2. How is the video calling on it? Which software can i use for Video chatting on PC and tablet?
Video calling is ok to good, same as any mobile device, but with BIGGER FACES. Qik, Tango, Fring and Skype are your current choices for software. All work best on WiFi, obviously
3. Is there any other alternative tablet better than this? Is it gonna be outdated in a few months due to the hardware??
There's no REAL alternative at the moment. There's a lot of lesser alternatives (no phone, no GPS, lower quality materials, lower resolution, etc), but nothing better in this form factor. In the mobile electronics world, there's always something better coming.
4. Can I put custom Roms in it? Or its not possible?
In time, you can, because Samsung didn't lock the bootloader and they've released the source code for all the shipping variants. Just keepin mind that no Android device has custom ROM support right out of the gate, not even the vaunted Nexus One. It takes time, multiplied by sales. I should also mention that the Tab has sold nearly as many units as the Nexus One, if the reports are accurate.

A lot of stuff is going towards either dual core or cortex.... (or both, tegra 2)
I will personally GUARANTEE that if you get an arc, it will be outdated shortly

Kindly provide some examples of 'a lot of stuff'.
As for saying the arc will be outdated, that is pretty simplistic mate. It will only be considered outdated by a small minority of power users, if it does what you need it to then specs mean little.
How exactly will you personally guarantee anything?

A new version of XPlay?

It seems SE will launch a new PS Certified phone, the successor of Xperia Play.
Phone sizes keep creeping up, to the point where I worry using a 10.1-inch tablet will soon become the norm. If rumors are correct, Sony Ericsson's thinking big with their first glasses-free 3D phone—a possible PlayStation phone, perhaps?
Word on the street is Sony Ericsson wants a slice of the 3D pie that HTC and LG have both already cut, however negative the reviews may've been for the EVO 3D and Thrill 4G. Supposedly this phone they're working on with a 4.7-inch screen has a mega resolution of 1280 x 720, which in my eyes would make it perfectly placed for a follow-up PlayStation gaming phone to the Xperia Play.

I hope they do release a 2nd PS Certified device, however, I don't hope it's this soon. I hope maybe after a year or so. Then, that would be an epic win. Vita specs with a smaller shell and a radio cell enabled.

Just a thought maybe this is the nexus prime?! 720p display check, huge ass screen for a phone check. I'm sure this will use dual core so thats another check. Make's sense for this to have ice cream sandwhich since it has that big ass screen. Nexus prime doesnt use any buttons, so 4.7 isnt that bad when you can make room since no buttons.
I can see why they would release it early. The new nexus comes out in november
Can this really be the new nexus prime? What do you guys think

I really hope It had happens.. Xperia Play could of been better.

LOL, your comparing a mid range android phone that plays mobile games to a state of the art dedicated handheld that will make the Play look like a Sega Game Gear?
Okay then lol......
Vita will have Uncharted, Resistance, Call Of Duty, Mod Nation Racers, Little Big Planet, Wipeout, PSN etc from day one and have graphics nearing the 360 and ps3 on a handheld.
I'm currently looking to pre order my Vita, the Play will do me until the Vita releases, i'll then get rid and have a "normal android or ios phone" and a dedicated gaming device (Vita) as the two don't mix too well at all in one device as seen with the Play lol.
And many people agree judging by the terrible sales of the Play and the poor reviews from across the board.......

Don't see what everyone is complaining about.
fk 3d phones and why do people need dual core. Do you often find yourself using 100% processing all the time.
3D has to be the biggest gimmicks out there at the moment and not to mention it's lack of clarity.
The problem i find here is that most people are whining about a phone that has been out less than 6 months and for some regions on 1 month.
For most regions it came on 2.3.3 and an update for 2.3.4 is out in September not to mention the recent software update that has already made the phone better in some features.
People here obviously lack patience and if you are constantly looking at what is coming out next then you will always be disappointed with any of your purchases.
Here's an idea... if you don't buy anything ever you will never be disappointed.
You made your bed now sleep in it or trade in your phone or something.
I love my play and am perfectly satisfied at the time between updates. If you like your play you will tell people about it rather than complaining about it and turning of people from buying it which then leads to companies not supporting it due to the low sales.

I agree whole heartedly! Love my play, only real issue is devs not making decent enough games for it - bit of a chicken egg scenario, devs wont make games as not enough ppl have bought the phone, ppl wont buy as not enough devs making decent games for it...
Don't matter tho, FPSE and the xoid family gives you all you need
Back on topic - I would love there to be more ps certified devices, and cross manufacturer, I want a dual screen device, with the second screen displaying a game pad or a keyboard at all times depending what I am doing!

i hate touch screen controls so until there are more phones with gamepads PS certified phones don't really interest me unless they are the next gen Xperia Plays.
pretty much all SE devices from now on will be PlayStation certified.

For while, the SnapDragon S4 is the king...
I'll confess something. I've had so far only two androids, a Galaxy S and the Xperia Play (which by the way, is in service center).
I think the Sony invests more in your consumers than the Samsung. I see guys upset (so far) by the slowness of the ICS on Xperia play, but look the other way, Samsung won't officially launch the ICS for the Galaxy S. Think Sony strives to provide the best for their Android phones.
The accessories by Sony are also good .. I have the Livesound, the DK300 dock for Xperia Play and ordered the SMartwatch on ebay...
I'm happy with Sony, and I haven't plans to change..
