I'll take your word considering that you're a Tab owner and I'm a Tab admirer.
7" with an Exynos is a killer package though. My question is why Gingerbread? I think it has something to do with the dpi (the smallish screen) more than anything. It's just a rumor, so hopefully this will change.

More Tegra 2 gaming goodness! Next up, a similar game to GoF mentioned a few posts back. This time it's Vendetta Online, a seeming Eve Online copycat:

Great graphics, and it seems that there is compelling play!
Almost identical to the PC version, and Tegra exclusive as of Jan.

More high quality Tegra games abound! Introducing Galaxy On Fire 2:

VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FANWV_kWW4Q
MARKET LINK: https://market.android.com/details?i...laxyonFire2THD
The Tegra 2 version is loaded with more shaders and as such, prettier graphics, than other variants.
The game looks quite good.
It costs €7.99 in the app market, which is a bit steep. However, if it's a long and engrossing adventure, I suppose it would be worth it.
Still have to get used to the controls.

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 gets reviewed by Ars, and gets slammed on software:
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/revie...xy-tab-101.ars
Sounds like tablet 'optimized' apps are still few and far between.
While I love the activity/fragment model of development, a part of me thinks that it is still too complicated for developers to easily use. Android development seems to include many caveats and requires 'best practices' to produce effective code, which simply means that there are too many ways to do things incorrectly. This will hurt development numbers. Perhaps the UI team should go back to the drawing board and make it far easier to produce applications.

Is this the XOOM2 pictured in the latest Verizon ad?
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/06/mys...et-verizon-ad/
VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_INWezbkBJ8
It looks slimmer. Is this enough?

Bah tegra exclusive my ***. I play tegra games on my SGSII thanks to chainfire3d.

Companies in the UK are teaming up to compete with Google Wallet:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/16/u...-in-on-the-nf/
Competition is good! Here's hoping that choosing a provider is transparent for consumers (ie. you can link your credit-card to different services), and we don't get stuck using one companies solution.

Sony now offers a contending music streaming service called Qriocity for Android:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/15/s...-know-why-qri/
MARKET LINK: https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result
OFFICIAL SITE: http://www.qriocity.com/ca/en/
The prices are nice as well. $4/mo basic includes just streaming of your collection, and $10/mo premium lets you stream any song you want from the qriocity catalogue.
Not bad.
