amongst the top Android tablets demonstrated at the show, only the Motorola Xoom was running Honeycomb, whereas others were running either Android 2.3 or older versions.
Hmm, we had the Galaxy Tab 10.1, and LG G-pad too. They both had Honeycomb.
whereas others were running either Android 2.3 or older versions
Considering Google haven't released the source code for Honeycomb yet, I'm not surprised others didn't have Honeycomb.
A recent study of 1222 undergraduates found that... "As more and more people are using the Internet illegally (i.e. limewire etc.), I feel that the chances of being caught or the consequences of my actions are almost insignificant. So I feel no pressure in doing what ever everybody else is doing/using the Internet for."
hijacking your post but... There are also references to PowerVR 543 in the iOS 4.3 beta. Although the A5 or whatever they call it will probably have a single our dual core GPU.
Oh, For the screen, they've quadruped the pixel count from the original PSP, just like Apple did with iPhone 4. It's backwards compatibe with previous downloadable PSP games.
* Quad Core PowerVR SGX543MP4+ GPU from Imagination Technologies. (They make the PoverVR 530 featured in Motorola Droids, PowerVR 535 in iPhone & iPad, and PowerVR 540 featured in Galaxy S devices, and playbook)
A few of those things are standard, and a few won't be included. (imo)
True Multi-Touch (Galaxy S has a digitiser capable of tracking 10 fingers, though it's configured for only 5), 2GB+ Internal Storage, Front Camera, Decent speakers (wolfson audio chip - best in a mobile device) are all present in current Galaxy S. (for me, with the international i9000 model anyway.)
Camera LED will make it into the next Galaxy S phone, there should be a version with a hardware keyboard, but it'll likely be on only 1 US carrier. International version may see both slate and slide out keyboard. CyanogenMod support is a mixed bag, and depends on how locked down the device is, any changes made to it by the manufacturer, dev support for it, and number of proprietary drivers/software. 1GB RAM would be ideal, but 768MB should be the least amount. WSVGA would be great, or even 720p, but I'll be happy with a qHD(540x960) res screen.
D-pad on the front seems to be an old trend, and I doubt the new Galaxy S will have one.
For my next phone, I want: more than 512mb RAM, super AMOLED plus, hardware divx/mkv playback and higher than WVGA screen res. Galaxy s2 may fit the bill, since the video playback support and super amoled plus are a given.
I can still see them locking it down. Locking it down allows them to control what version of android it has, and when their support for a product ends.
Slashdot Mirror
Sadly, it's the truth. Slashdot is the internet equivalent of Daily Mail. *shudder*
An article I read about it a while ago: http://notroswell.com/2010/03/slashdot-the-daily-mail-of-the-tech-world/
Wifi only version is $600, on par with the iPad 32GB. Troll much?

I'm on 11.0.672.2 dev. They have a stable release (9.x), a beta release (10.x), and a dev release(11.x).

It begs to ask the question: Why was I reading the summary?
Stopped reading there.

limewire!? How recent is this study?
And it will remain in a crippled state. The minimum spec for Android Honeycomb is a dualcore Tegra 2 (A9) chip. The Nook has a single core A8 chip.

iPhone isn't DVGA, it's double HVGA.
Seems like it's styled similar, but it won't be android. The android PSP (Xperia Play) will be announced at MWC
Those specs are similar to the original droid. Same res screen (almost 15:9 vs. 16:9), same RAM, GPU, Cpu manufacturer and speed.
They can easily upscale psp games. It's 4x screen res of psp, like iphone 4 is 4x screen res of previous iphones

meh. Was thinking of applying for an internship over the summer, but going to develop some apps instead.

It was late, I didn't proof read properly. It did seem a bit ambiguous
I've used the desire hd's super lcd screen. It's horrible and washed out. Super AMOLED plus doesn't have pentile.
Any 2.3 ROMs? Any of those "ROMs" using an unofficial base? No.
