Uh, no, time to read up a on Android.

There is no native code support. You can run Java applications. That's it.

Which Android phones, exactly? The HTC Dream is a Qualcomm 7201 which is an ARM11. Nowhere close to the Cortex A8 in the OMAP3, and it's only got a dinky little 3.2" 480x320 screen on there.

Besides, what's your point? You can't say anything about any Android hardware, either, since none of it's shipped yet.

You're comparing unreleased hardware to 2 year old hardware (btw, Android is an OS, it doesn't have MHz

)? What's the point?
