On camera sensors that small, megapixels don't matter much anyway.

The highlight here is not just that this phone is thinner than the Droid, but that its keyboard is actually usable. I love my Droid, but its physical keyboard is a pain to use.]]>Jan 9th 2010 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/
I second that. 3mp phone cameras are 2008 not 2010.

My phone has a 5MP camera, but I always resize the pictures in half.
Just because it's 3MP it doesn't mean it can't be good or even better than some 5MP ones.

I do hope it has flash, tho (it looks like it does). I'd never take a phone without a flash light for the camera, that's for sure.]]>Jan 10th 2010 6:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/Jan 9th 2010 9:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/Jan 9th 2010 9:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/
Yeah, I think it's awesome. I remember when I didn't get all the hype about Android and why people saw so much promise in the platform. From the way I understand it, it's open source so it's essentially--if not completely--free for people to customize and implement.

I'm a proud Android user now.

Based on how many devices and carriers are signing up for Android their app ecosystem is definitely going to rival if not trump the app store. ]]>Jan 10th 2010 12:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/Jan 10th 2010 2:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/

The Moment, Jét, Omnia II and Omnia Qwerty all use the S3C6410, which is far less powerful (As it uses an ARMv6 (ARM1176) processor compared to the ARMv7 (Cortex-A8) in this, and the GPU is nowhere near as powerful), this is more in the lines of the OMAP3 platform.

But yes, it is way more powerful than the S5PC100.

Which OpenGL ES version do they support, they just mention some millions of triangles, all other chip manufacturers always mention OpenGL ES 2.0, or 1.0.
When they talk about video, they fail to mention the bitrate. This again is an important factor all other chip manufacturers always mention.

As an OEM I can never trust that Qualcomm will deliver on its claims.
Also notice that none of the graphically intensive platforms ever choose Qualcomm - Palm Pre, Moto Blur, iPhone 3GS, all three have graphically intensive UI and provide excellent h/w acceleration for 3D games.

The samsung S5PC100, Omap 3430 both have ARM Cortex A8 and Power VR SGX and in my experience a good graphics core is the heart of a compelling visual platform.]]>Jan 10th 2010 11:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/Adding FirstElse to the list - powered by TI Omap 3430]]>Jan 11th 2010 12:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/Jan 9th 2010 9:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/Jan 9th 2010 9:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/Jan 9th 2010 9:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/Jan 9th 2010 9:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/inbrics-m1-is-the-thinnest-android-slider-weve-seen-probably-e/

The standard videocalling over 3G (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP19WoVBeU4) doesn't require a lot of bandwidth. It works with the most basic UMTS that we've had since 2004 or so..

I'm actually surprised that the US carriers still don't offer that, since it's not a feature many people would use regularly anyway, so it shouldn't clog the network.

If you're talking about a higher quality videocalling over Skype or something, that's a different story. That would require a much better network (and it would use your internet data, of course).]]>Jan 10th 2010 5:49AM
