...to compete against Apple A4 and the iPad.

Well, crap. That would be overkill.

And probably really expensive to boot.

The iPad is already packing around three times as much video power as a Dreamcast, to put things into a bit of perspective. The Tegra2 is even more powerful than that.

How much power are people in the near future going to need in tiny devices? Are people going to be running Mathematica or AutoCAD on a phone soon? x.x

When you can run Quake 3 on a cell phone, you know we've entered in to a new era. I remember having to upgrade my video card just to be able to play that game on a PC.

With a processor like the Tegra 2, you could probably run World of Warcraft or other modern games on minimum settings on one of them.

"Yeah, that phone's nice and all, but can it run Crysis?"

Technology is weird.

Or how much storage space you can get with them now?

I saw an overclocked Nokia N900 run SotN if that says anything.

Paulguy's Post configuration
Let's not forget 30 minutes battery life when you actually try to use it because people want "sleek" devices for absolutely no reason above all, even sacrificing battery life. God people are retarded.

Yeah, the portability aspect is kinda moot if you have to tether yourself to a charging station every half hour. :specialed:

Yeah, even my Blackberry Curve that lasts 3 days of just talk and text will drain when I play Wheel of Fortune or something for a full round. Drops the battery below half. My wife's iPhone drains pretty quick but not quite as bad as we thought it would be.
