There's quite a lively debate on this.
What do you think is more natural? Portrait or landscape?
The reason I ask, is because I remember when Nokia was refusing portrait orientation on the N900. This annoyed a few folk at the time, but has important usability/design implications. Now, a tablet is larger than a phone, but it is interesting to consider.

Holy Hanna,
The Transformer has been overclocked to a stable 1.6GHz!
I wonder if you need oven mits to hold it?
The GPU speed seems not to have budged. I'd love to see the GeForce ULP overclocked...
I'd also love to see some performance comparisons between this an the first Intel Atom CPU!
I'll leave it up to you decided how it rockets when overclocked.

Now the question is: Can it play Crysis?
edit:
I just realized a few things. Nvidia has codenamed the Tegra-SoC's Wayne, Logan, Stark is inline with Batman, Wolverine and Iron Man ... but I never knew what Kal-El meant.
Well I realized Kal-El is Superman, so the name-game is quite funny. And "x100 performance increase" over the T20 SoC is mind-boggling @_@ What's next "Nvidia Vegetto"?
But then I saw Nvidia's own benchmark which put Kal-El only 10% faster (CoreMark= 11,400/10,100) than Intel T7200. Now I don't want to burst anyone's bubble but the Intel Core i7-2657M is very power effecient and manages to surpass the T7200 Core 2 Duo by a 45% (3D06= 2500/1700) performance increase.
So Intel is actually in the lead, over ARM, for powerful and efficient cores @_@

First off, the benchmark isn't the final gospel on performance, it just highlights performance under a few (if it's good) specific cases.
That aside: Considering that T30 will be pushing a power envelope of around 0.5W and the TDP of an i7 mobile is something like 17W (not sure on the average running consumption though -- this is only a peak), I think the "Power Efficiency" can be clearly argued in favour of the Tegra, even if it's slower -- in other words, the ratio of speed to consumption will be many times higher for the Tegra, which is common for ARM which has a (AFAIK) tidier instruction set and less legacy baggage than intel to support on a die; also ARM has optimized for power efficiency through the life of their designs.
No wonder we're hearing laptop manufacturers (eg. Apple) looking to ditch Intel for ARM, and major software manufacturers (eg. Microsoft) now that ARM's performance is matching Intel -- even on the low end.
By, the by, that T7200 C2D was pulling in 34W at peak.
To claim that T30 bests it in the coremark (again this is just one measure of performance) is quite something as it's a mobile SoC that will sip just half-a-Watt.

More light shed on the Paypal/Google lawsuit?
http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/28/p...sappropriation
It seems that Paypal was in talks with Google for Android Market Payments. Google hired a former exec of Paypal Osama Bedier and a number of employees. Google/Paypal deal falls apart. Google debuts Google Wallet. Paypal sues Google for trade-secret infringement.
Without knowing the trade-secret (which we should never, being the public), it's hard to know if this is a valid claim. If Google did knowingly, or unknowingly used trade secrets I am of the opinion that they should be sued. It's a risk that comes with hiring a higher up in a competitive firm. This is assuming that trade-secret violation gives a company offensive rights. I know nothing of the law.

MoboPlayer
I installed it and I think I'll keep it, even though I think the Samsung player still feels like a better player--but they seem very similar in several ways too. I did notice one exceedingly useful feature--it can play video streams over RTSP and HTTP... which means it works GREAT in combination with File Expert's ability to create a local "live stream" of SMB share video files. (i.e. I can browse a SMB/CIFS share, tap on a video and play it with MoboPlayer... seemlessly.) EXCELLENT stuff! I played videos this way today off my main server and it worked beautifully and without stutter. Best of all--you don't actually need to be rooted to do any of this--so ANYONE can use these two programs together to watch videos off their shares.

Hmmm.
id Tech is supposed to release the source code for the 3D engine "id Tech 4" this year around August/September. Now its based on C++ and OpenGL and has many complex features (MegaTexture).
This is basically what's needed to make your very own FPS/Third-Person-Shooter ... or simulator applications such as somethingTycoon, Engineering Project etc.
I believe this will innovate the gaming field late this year and early next year. Because talented developers/groups will bring Linux (Debian, Fedora, etc) one step closer to current-gen in graphics rendering, and I expect Maemo(this community), Android, WebOS, QNX (?) and possibly MeeGo to be involved aswell.
And you thought Infinity Blade looked good?
