I'd much rather have a push toward Super AMOLED, a well designed hardware keyboard or better battery life.]]>Jun 4th 2010 8:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/
squeezing an extra 20 or 30% more battery life out of these devices would be a win!]]>Jun 4th 2010 8:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/
Screw you and your logic 1.5GHz man!]]>Jun 4th 2010 8:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/
I think it's somewhat unlikely that the devices'd sell big, but if the price is right, who knows. Also, it's being a bit optimistic to think that the games would be dedicated to the highest end, but it's possible, and if you can bring in some major developments with some great hardware you can seriously cut in on the mobile gaming market and try to chop it up with Apple. ]]>Jun 4th 2010 9:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/Do we know the power draw of this CPU? It could be more efficient than the current 1GHz offering. Either way, the CPU is no where near as power intensive as the radios and screen, so it'd have minimal impact of battery life.

If it happens to use the same amount of power as the 1GHz Snapdragon, you could underclock it to 1GHz and get _more_ battery life.]]>Jun 4th 2010 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/Jun 4th 2010 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/
Take for instance, Hummingbird inside the Galaxy S and iPad. At 1GHz, that CPU core alone (never mind the rest of the SoC) consumes 750mW. Yet I doubt you'll notice the difference compared to an OMAP 3640 (500mW @ 1 GHz) or Snapdragon (500mW @ 1 GHz) when using the actual device.

The CPU's power, unless it's drastically large, simply isn't the major factor at this stage in the game to what the end-user sees as battery life.]]>Jun 4th 2010 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/Jun 4th 2010 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/Jun 4th 2010 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/i hate people like you who dont know anything about products or the way technology works and simply assume things. you do know that the 1.5 Ghz dual core will probably consume the same, if not less power than the 1Ghz snapdragon. as it is, the 1.3Ghz snapdragon that should be in devices soon actually consumes 30% less power than the 1.0Ghz model. Now think about that when you're enjoying lunch today...]]>Jun 4th 2010 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/Jun 4th 2010 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/Jun 4th 2010 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/1-5-ghz-htc-scorpion-and-quartet-of-windows-phone-7-handsets-hea/
