Holy Mobile Computing, Batman: TI Announces OMAP 5, A Monster 2GHz Quad Core Mobile Processor

Holy Mobile Computing, Batman: TI Announces OMAP 5, A Monster 2GHz Quad Core Mobile Processor

David Ruddock David Ruddock

Yeah, Nvidia's Tegra line of mobile processors is pretty exciting, and will be getting the quad core treatment later this year, but don't forget about the competition - namely, Texas Instruments. TI chips have powered most of Motorola's Android products to date (excluding the upcoming ATRIX / BIONIC / XOOM), but Nvidia ended up beating TI to the punch in the marketplace for multi-core handsets and tablets.

Fear not, though: Texas Instruments just announced its OMAP 5 line of mobile processors (there aren't even any OMAP 4 devices out yet), and they're truly ridiculous.

Super LCD-Packing Samsung Galaxy SL Official, Could Replace GT-i9000 In Some Regions

Super LCD-Packing Samsung Galaxy SL Official, Could Replace GT-i9000 In Some Regions

Jaroslav Stekl Jaroslav Stekl

I must admit that I was very skeptical of this morning's Samsung GT-i9003 rumors, simply because they involved a Galaxy S successor with a Super LCD display. This seemed suspicious to me because Samsung has spent a lot of time hyping up Super AMOLED, but it turns out the rumors are true - the Galaxy SL, or the i9003, is now official.

Besides the addition of the aforementioned Super Clear LCD screen, the SL differentiates itself with a 1GHz TI OMAP 3630 CPU; the original Galaxy S devices were powered by a 1GHz Cortex A8 "Hummingbird" processor.

Costco Will Be Selling The Motorola Atrix 4G For $150 As Well, Does Not Come In Bulk

Costco Will Be Selling The Motorola Atrix 4G For $150 As Well, Does Not Come In Bulk

David Ruddock David Ruddock

If you like buying your smartphones at Costco, have I got news for you. Sounds like the king of giant ketchup dispensers will be offering the Atrix 4G as part of its relationship with AT&T, and for the same $150 on-contract figure Amazon quoted (and then quickly unquoted) yesterday.

I know I'll be getting an Atrix 4G come launch day, but I think I'll take a pass on Costco as a vendor.

Amazon Accidentally Leaks Pricing Of Motorola Atrix 4G ($150/$600) And HTC Inspire 4G ($100/$500)

Amazon Accidentally Leaks Pricing Of Motorola Atrix 4G ($150/$600) And HTC Inspire 4G ($100/$500)

Jaroslav Stekl Jaroslav Stekl

The launch of the Atrix 4G is drawing near - yesterday, Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha himself reminded us of this on the company's earnings call, and today Amazon hinted at the same thing by putting up its order page for the phone.

2011-01-27 20h35_14_wm

The move probably wasn't intentional (clicking the 'Buy at AmazonWireless.com' button leads to an error message), but it certainly has revealed some juicy details. Most importantly, the on-contract price is said to be a mere $149.99 - not bad for America's first dual-core phone.

Intel Sandy Bridge Quad-Core Processor Coming Soon To Acer Android Tablets

Intel Sandy Bridge Quad-Core Processor Coming Soon To Acer Android Tablets

Jaroslav Stekl Jaroslav Stekl

There's no doubt about it: tablets are getting more and more powerful. How powerful? If you ask Acer, they will soon have enough horsepower to gradually "phase out" netbooks.

The computer manufacturer told Computerworld that in the first half of 2011, it will begin selling two or three new Android tablets in the 7- to 10-inch range. While Acer didn't specify the price or Android version, the company did say something that's sure to get your Android-loving heart racing: the tablets will be "faster than laptops with Windows operating systems," and will use a quad-core Intel Sandy Bridge processor.

Verizon's Samsung Galaxy Tab Sees An Upgrade: 1.2GHz Hummingbird Processor, LTE Radio, 5MP Camera

Verizon's Samsung Galaxy Tab Sees An Upgrade: 1.2GHz Hummingbird Processor, LTE Radio, 5MP Camera

Jaroslav Stekl Jaroslav Stekl

With all the new tablets from players like Motorola, ASUS, and Acer, it goes without saying that Samsung was starting to feel a little jealous - and so, in partnership with Verizon, it decided to do something about the situation.

Namely, the company has released an upgraded Galaxy Tab, complete with a 1.2GHz Hummingbird processor (the original model only had a 1GHz unit), an upgraded rear camera (it's now 5MP as opposed to the previous generation's 3MP), and an LTE radio.

[Update: It's Official] Meet The Droid Bionic, Motorola’s LTE Phone For Verizon

[Update: It's Official] Meet The Droid Bionic, Motorola’s LTE Phone For Verizon

Jaroslav Stekl Jaroslav Stekl

Nope, Motorola hasn't announced this gem at their CES press conference yet, but it's already live on their site - it's called the Droid Bionic, and it's Motorola's LTE phone for Verizon.

It packs:

  • 512 MB of RAM
  • A dual-core processor of some sort (our bet is on the Tegra 2)
  • A front-facing web cam (VGA variety)
  • An 8 MP rear camera
  • A 4.3-inch qHD (960x540) display

Of course, it's also got a LTE radio under the hood, as evidenced by the "4G" logo in the top right corner and the "4G-like power" mentioned in the description.

Photos And Videos Of Rumored LG Optimus Pad Hit Engadget

Photos And Videos Of Rumored LG Optimus Pad Hit Engadget

Stephen Tenerowicz Stephen Tenerowicz

Well, well, well, what do we have here? The device Engadget found in LG's CES booth (see the thumbnail above and the video at the source link) could very well be the long-rumored Optimus Pad. The 8.9-inch device, which is said to be powered by a Tegra 2 dual-core processor, is something I have been lusting after for a while now.

While we can't be sure that the device in the thumbnail is the Optimus Pad, it sure looks a lot like the render below.

eLocity Announces Seven 10-Inch Tegra 2 Tablets, Indicates That Honeycomb Will Be Android 3.0 Rather Than 2.4

eLocity Announces Seven 10-Inch Tegra 2 Tablets, Indicates That Honeycomb Will Be Android 3.0 Rather Than 2.4

Jaroslav Stekl Jaroslav Stekl

Here's a little something to tide you over while you're waiting for CES: eLocity today made no fewer than seven Tegra 2-powered Honeycomb tablets official.

While the company hasn't publicized many details about the devices yet (they say in-depth specifications will be available at CES), here's what we do know:

  • All of them are members of the A10 line
  • They will feature "high-resolution" multitouch displays
  • They will be powered by dual-core Tegra 2 processors
  • They will include microSD card slots as well as USB ports and an HDMI port capable of 1080p output
  • They will ship with a front-facing camera

While this is all very exciting, there's another item of interest here: the press release consistently refers to Honeycomb as "Android 3.0," despite the previous information we had indicating that Honeycomb would be version 2.4.

Revision 2 Of The Archos 7 Home Tablet Official, Not Much Better Than The Original

Revision 2 Of The Archos 7 Home Tablet Official, Not Much Better Than The Original

Jaroslav Stekl Jaroslav Stekl

Nope, the Archos 70 wasn't the death of the good (or not so good) ol' Archos 7 Home Tablet, apparently. The manufacturer has just let revision 2 of the Archos 7 loose, and while it's still got a resistive touchscreen (ugh), its CPU has been upgraded to an 800 MHz Rockchip processor (the older model was powered by a 600 MHz chip), and it now comes with Android 2.1 (as opposed to Android 1.6 on the original).
