A slightly more calm/collected viewpoint on the rumours surrounding Intel's imminent departure
http://www.meegoexperts.com/2011/09/...ntel-annulled/

You never know, it could go totally the other way in a few months...
We might suddenly find a bunch of handset vendors announcing that they're standing behind it.
Intel's been very quiet on the progress of their handset silicon, they're well overdue to deliver something special.
(or anything at all really)

I highly doubt it'll happen, but the point is we really won't know until or if it does.

*EDIT*
To be clearer...
It's about "nascent" FMRX support.

offline maps?
The 2nd is coming in mango apparently, it's up to the operators to block you if they want
The 4th can be solved with apps. Can't remember the name of it now, but I've read it somewhere

I can only wish for the first...but I guess skydrive is ok

Most people hate WP here cuz well they just don't know WP. Call it ignorance call it stubborn, I'm not sure. My experience with it has been pretty decent. I guess people here have VERY SPECIFIC needs that only the n9 can 'possibly' provide.

@gerbick

Why would you choose Nvidia Tegra hardware?
Is there something special about it? (genuine curiosity)

All these ARM variations seem to be too comparable to matter on the consumer side. Qualcomm, TI, Samsung Exynos, Apple A whatever, Tegra. Is there THAT much of a difference?

Personally for me, as long as my phone performs the way it is supposed to perform I'm good. If it doesn't I blame software, this is Android's biggest problem to me. Why do I lag even on dual core? and I don't with single core WP7? Inefficiency of the OS seems to be the problem imo. I have no facts though

And yes, that is an Exception. If you installed language packs on the same device for several users, that's what we call an exception, mate. If throughout the history of ALL OF NOKIA'S mobile releases, users have had to get language packs on even 20 (that's a generous number for the sake of argument) of their devices/models, then that's AN EXCEPTION. If the opposite were true and nearly every device produced by Nokia had missing languages for certain regions, that would be the RULE. But that isn't the case for Nokia, and it certainly isn't the case for ANY OTHER mobile manufacturer.

As I said earlier, your example, and that other user's example are the rare, fringe cases. The exceptions, and not the rule. So yeah, my comment about everyone abandoning common sense still stands.

Lastly, if you've been insulted by anything I've said, that certainly wasn't my intention, but if you've taken offense to it, oh well. I'm not gonna apologise over the use of r3tard (stupid language filter) nor calling you a clown. If you can't handle that, I'm not sure how you make it in real life.

Again who said anything about it being the norm? Like I said his comparison showed more common sense than you comparing it to ice at a restaurant, next you'll be telling me cars should come with free unlimited refills. No I wasn't insulted since it wasn't even aimed at me but to be honest I don't know how you make it "in real life" without showing any decency. Nevertheless, I get by just fine with or without your insults.

For ****'s sake, we should change the thread title to:

"The N9 is announced! QUICK, EVERYONE THROW COMMON SENSE OUT THE WINDOW AND ACT ******ED"
My bad... i forgot that nokia and MS are TOTALLY unrelated... I don't think i can think of anyone else than MS who charges extra for their language packs, i'll give you that. Just a matter of how much Nokia intends to learn from their "mentors"...?

Not that it's specifically a good platform - it's been shown that many Tegra 2 exclusive programs will also work on other platforms without incident for the most part - but for some of the games... I'm enjoying my Xoom.

Games like Sprinkle, MiniGore HD, Fruit Ninja THD, Reckless Racing HD, Riptide GP, Bang Bang Racing are all pretty great looking games and they don't drop frames for the most part. And honestly? I'm willing to bet that Nvidia helps out folks with their development to ensure it's a good delivered game on that platform.

I'm tired of folks loving the daylights out of games that were released in some cases almost 20 years ago, if not further out. I played Tetris on my HP 48GX - having it on my phone does not excite me. Having played Pacman on so many platforms in the past, it doesn't excite me to play that now.

Gimme 3D graphics. Gimme Openfeint. Gimme something that supports Unity3D. Gimme something way more modern than NES and Sega Genesis games.

And if not Tegra 2 or higher, gimme hardware that doesn't struggle if I were to expect something more than just some game from 12 years ago.

All these ARM variations seem to be too comparable to matter on the consumer side. Qualcomm, TI, Samsung Exynos, Apple A whatever, Tegra. Is there THAT much of a difference?
Actually... not really. I'm not stupid enough to say otherwise. But what kills me... OMAP while a beast, I've never seen anything graphically on it that made me just go "holy ****" - whereas I've seen some rather impressive things on Exynos, Tegra, Hummingbird, et al.

And who knows... perhaps Tegra will make folks stop using the same Qualcomm chipset, incorporate dual core into WP7 and make use of something that will finally make me go "holy ****"
