Is it Magical?]]>Jun 25th 2010 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/
Couldn't they overclock it some?

A tablet should be far more powerful than a high end smartphone, atleast that's what I think.]]>Jun 25th 2010 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/Jun 25th 2010 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/

There's more to processors than clock numbers. Compare a 3430 clocked at 1ghz to a 3630/3640 clocked at 1ghz, or a snapdragon clocked at 1ghz. What comes out faster? Why aren't they all the same?

Now look up the 4430 and tell me why it's not a great choice?]]>Jun 25th 2010 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/Oh and btw, the clock speeds are per core (duh).
The cool thing is, according to ARM anyways, the A9 instruction set will eventually allow for 4 cores.]]>Jun 25th 2010 3:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/Jun 25th 2010 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/
It's dual core... Engadget may have wanted to mention this, we aren't all up on our ARM processors.]]>Jun 25th 2010 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/
Not only is it dual-core, but the Cortex-A9 is far more advanced than the A8 core, being an out-of-order processor.]]>Jun 26th 2010 11:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/

EXACTLY!!

apparently, i wasn't aware of the war among the hundreds and hundreds of tablets out there that involved in this so-called Tablet Wars.

They ( whoever "they" are) always say it's easier to criticize than to do. If the hardware is that common, and iOS is that plain and boring, then where are the dozens/hundreds of alternatives?!]]>Jun 25th 2010 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/
All those tablets are just vaporware and pipe dreams. It takes money to build high-quality tablets and you can't just give them away for $300 otherwise you've got that cheap netbook situation all over again. You think companies want to invest a whole lot of money and get nothing in return when they can't sell them. It isn't some sort of a game using Monopoly money. In this economy the risk is too great. One look at the DJIA should tell you that much.]]>Jun 25th 2010 5:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/
There is only 1 tablet at the moment that gives me a "wow, I want it"-feeling and that's the notion ink adam. Not released yet, so the feeling is only based on the specs and early demo video's.]]>Jun 26th 2010 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/
In this metaphor, Apple is Nazi Germany, and they've blitzkrieged their way into a lead, JooJoo is France (small opposition, but they got rolled by the iPad)...

Once other companies join the fight, we'll have a war on our hands (and I'll continue the metaphor). In the end, there will be windows based tablets (russia, for argument's sake) and android based tablets (we'll go with america for them...)

Anyways... not a war yet when only one side is firing.]]>Jun 25th 2010 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/
MeeGo is America, real freedom, not some iFascism scheme. A real all out OS, not some crippled linux / virtual machine. MeeGo will come and the nuke will fall. ]]>Jun 25th 2010 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/Jun 25th 2010 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/Jun 25th 2010 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/What tablet war? The tablet war has already ended. Apple already launched a preemptive strike of MIRV'd hydrogen iPad warheads and there's nothing left except an empty wasteland with no countries in any position to even build weapons. In fact, most of the countries have already been nuked clear back into the stone age.

In actuality, this economy is honestly not conducive to new product launches for iffy products. Too much financial risk involved.]]>Jun 25th 2010 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/
Some have fallen (RIP Courier, HP slate, et. al) but there are still many on their way to the front.

Lets see what actually happens before we declare iPad the winner.]]>Jun 25th 2010 6:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/Jun 25th 2010 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/Jun 25th 2010 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/Jun 25th 2010 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/All these seven inch tablets are nuts.

The JooJoo failed both as a product and in the market.

The courier was vaporware as most of us expected.

The HP Tablet appears to be either cancelled, on indefinite hold, or in the middle of a major shakeup (switching from windows to webOS possibly?)

And every single day an android tablet is announced it seems. Yet not a single one of them has made it to market.

Meanwhile the longer this goes on the tighter Apples grip on the fledging tablet market becomes.....]]>Jun 25th 2010 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/Jun 25th 2010 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/Jun 25th 2010 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/Jun 25th 2010 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/texas-instruments-blaze-tablet-coming-your-way-this-august/
