Though I would definitely want to run benchmarks the whole day and see what happens.
Its about time we use our phone battery power for productive work instead of wasting it in a grossly inefficient piece of hardware: the power amplifier.

Yes. This will happen in 2111. Its sad we won't be around to witness.
This decision seems logical, especially for interfaces that might be used on netbooks. No need for fancy stuff before you even login to your desktop
