@KeegdnaB Defiantly will have all that, but probably not Snapdragon. Probably an OMAP3630 processor, like the Shadow/Xtreme. Its just as good, if not better. :)
@EggoEspada I would disagree with that, OMAP3630 has a 720 MHz Cortex-A8 chip while Snapdragons are generally 1 GHz. They are roughly have equal performance clock-for-clock, so the Snapdragon chip wins. The PowerVR SGX 530 GPU can push out 14 million triangles per second while the Snapdragon can put out 22 million triangles per second, which is again a Snapdragon victory.
@cloud858rk The triangles for the PowerVGR is 18.5M, not 14M. Add this to the the far superior fill rate of 662M pixels vs Snapdragons puny 133M pixels and it's a loss for Snapdragon graphics wise.
@JXCGunrunna Linpack numbers are about the same at 1GHz. Although since the N1 runs its own version of Android Google cooked up, it's difficult to say.
The Chromebooks are here, starting with Samsung's Series 5, a cute little number that promises instant-on access, 3G connectivity, and long enough battery life to web surf with the best of 'em.

Give it Snapdragon or better and vanilla froyo (no pun intended) and I'm sold

Snapdragon does not win. Actually, at 1ghz, the Droid is faster than the Nexus One both running 2.1

@metafor
I should have specified. Using BB V1.0 the Droid at 1ghz gets a lot better scores in Quandrant.
