Well, since nokia has dropped the ball on n8x0 support (fixed in fremantle), yes,it's a valid comparison. I'm pretty sure nvidia will be even worse.

Er, what? Shred of proof of what? The OMAP4 is at least 2 years down the road, so you can safely ignore it for now.
As far as the OMAP3, people have plenty of devices using OMAP3 in their hands (Archos 5, Beagle Board, Pandora prototypes, and various OMAP3 development kits, etc.) since 2007, so it's not exactly difficult to judge how it'll perform. Tegra, on the other hand, has yet to ship anything.
I'm not sure what you're complaining about here, really.
What I've seen so far, doesn't instill faith that OMAP3 is worth anything. 720p - other chipsets already do 1080p. We'd have to wait for 1080p and other chipsets, drivers, implementations to make it happen from what I've heard so far - 3430 vs. 3440 (forgive me if I got the numbers wrong, I'm not following the OMAP3 too closely, only enough).
The Tegra isn't "on par" with either the OMAP3 or the OMAP4. It's somewhere between an OMAP2 and an OMAP3.
Um? What? Nokia's announced their general plans for the next tablets hardware (OMAP3, HD camera, HSPA) and we've been able to divine more information about the hardware based on the Fremantle pre-alphas. What's the problem here? :\
Exactly. There's no problem other than what I said and you didn't quite comprehend.
Allow me to use smaller words. They've shown Tegra and other things in front of people. Nvidia hasn't. Thus, my faith in the yet-to-be shown is lacking.
I think even you can follow that.
Have a good one.

given that the next nokia will be using omap3, and thats basically the same as whats used in beagleboard and will be used in openpandora, and both can be found videos of showing running software (i even think there was a early beagleboard at some linux conference, running a hacked up version of maemo as a desktop), i would say the basic platform have been shown.

As it stands, it's not even remotely near a complaint or whatever else that person may try to relegate my comments to seem.
I'd like to see more. Just haven't.

I think even you can follow that.

Sigh.
Don't inject negative words like "complain" or confrontational statements like "What's the problem here?" when it's not necessary at all. Work on your tone some more. You seriously are counter-friendly to this forum in so many ways.
You tend to bring out the absolute worst in the casual NIT user and forum poster.
And I didn't complain about a damn thing. I addressed you simply back as you had addressed me... in a condescending tone. Tit for tat. Savvy?

As do I.
I still think that this nvidia thing will be worse.
Then there's the 3d and video acceleration that's not available neither in closed nor open form, battery charging and probably something more that I'm not aware of.
