Anyone buying a tablet soon,...be aware of all of the coming processors...

TI has a license for the ARM Eagle...which has a faster clock speed than the current stuff out there including Apple and Tegra2.

1900x1200 screen on a tablet? How big would the thing have to be and would it come with an asbestos pad for your lap?

I think these pads will make good use as kitchen computers.
* Just put a magnet on the back and stick it on the fridge.
* Family schedules and calenders.
* Notes to family members entered on the pad, delivered by text, or e-mailed.
* Grocery lists.
* Bluetooth to other kitchen appliances.
* Music / TV / News reader with the morning cereal.

I think most of the apps already exist.

Apple is expected to answer back with dual-core iPads and iPhones using custom chips of its own, but its once a year update cycle makes it unlikely that it will have quad-core designs until mid-2012.

Thanks Ernest. Having used an iPad, I can say without doubt that I won't get one; the speed with which it operates is startling, and the interface is intuitive, but the screen's too effin' small. Period. I wound up holding it six inches from my face so I could make out what I'd surfed up off the wireless hotspot in my friends' condo.

However, anyone who thinks Apple will fall behind in this segment -- which has become extraordinarily important to the company -- has a halide and hydroponic pot farm somewhere in their house. :')

The picture becomes clearer as to why Microsoft announced the next version of Windows will support Tegra chips!
