One of my workmates upgraded his iPhone 3GS to the Galaxy S II today.

I put side by side with my Desire HD, and the screen is just insanely good. I'll have to check for that colour difference tomorrow.

Guys with Android devices install this now!

Android and Me have a writeup about the first real case of fragmentation on the Android platform -- the games and how that may affect purchase decisions:

I haven't read it yet, but it's interesting that developers are targeting specific hardware to roll out their titles. NVidia and Qualcomm are taking this very seriously, and it shows as they garner developer support.

Would the availability of games determine your next buy?

I know, nothing quite competes with the SAMOLED+. Its like candy for your eyes.

I can't wait until it finds itself into the tablet space. A 7" with this would get major points.

Here we go! You knew it was going to happen. Qualcomm declared war on NVidia by announcing 100 games (some from large publishers) optimized for their Snapdragon SoCs:

They have the equivalent of a Tegra-zone happening and will go head to head with the ultra-aggressive NVidia.

Who would have thought that Qualcomm would be in the position to become an upcoming gaming powerhouse?!

Personally, I'm not much of a gamer (although from time to time I'll get caught up in something). That said, I don't see the appeal of staring at a 4" screen for hours gaming with minimal controls (tilt / multi-touch).

So, for a phone sized device, I really think service (carrier), screen size, battery, other options, are going to come before cpu/gpu choice based on games available. My phone is mostly used for a time killer, and games should be easy to start and stop quickly, nothing too involved. Difficult to stop in the middle of a mission when the line moves faster than you expected and it's suddenly your turn.

Tablets are a little different. To me they still suffer from a control problem. I'd think a well done graphically intense game would benefit from a gaming controller with multiple joysticks, buttons, etc. The bigger higher res screens on tablets would be great, but for gaming you may not want to hold the extra weight for an extended period of time. So, you'd probably set it down, and need a controller. For me having to take a controller along reduces the portability (and possibly charger).

I'd guess a smaller percentage of people would buy based on available games, but I'd bet the majority are going to be more concerned with apps in general and media capabilities (playing hd video, tv out, sound quality, etc) and perhaps productivity (office) type apps.

I'd be more likely to buy a tablet with a particular cpu/gpu if it had a specialized linux distro compiled for it that took advantage of a particular cpu/gpu combo. Either as a dual boot or an app/vnc session.

Did this AGES ago. Excellent app, by the by, in case anyone felt they needed to see MY endorsement before trying it out for themselves. heheh

Also, I'm with Lemmyslender on his last post.

This is why I installed chainfire3d on my phone first thing. Plugins let me play Tegra games and these as well.

watched the xda developers registration video.hahaha funny thing

What video? Share! I didn't see one when I registered for it.
