We will find out soon enough! my hope is that we can get omap4 ... the trickle has begun. so a "halo device" with a gen old chip is NOT how you want to usher in your new shiny OS ... at least the N900 was on par with the highest of the high class in '09 ... snap was based on A8 so it wasnt much of an issue, and for me, an audio upgrade as well as an A9 would go a LOOONG way to appease the performance kids. plus the battery life savings would be b.w 20-40% according to TI. if it is an A8 i know that i wouldnt want it ... and would be willing to wait, for a device that does. but A8 is for mid-end now been out since 2007 its time for an upgrade in top of the line.
