Question: is the DSP fully integrated to all the video, audio, memory and CPU systems and does everyone have adequate information to be able to take full advantage? I'm asking since I don't know--but if I'm not mistaken it's a "no" all-around thanks to a lot of the closed-source mentality from the hardware end of things.)

Thanks for the link!! It is a start, but it doesn't include any numbers of how often something was proposed or who proposed, or any pros/cons. Do you still have the data you used to compile your list?

I do believe you're posting in it.

Note: for anybody wondering, OMAP3 is significantly more powerful than OMAP2, so a direct megahertz-to-megahertz comparison (i.e., the OMAP2420's 400MHz versus the OMAP3430's 600MHz) doesn't tell the whole story.
Ohho... OMAP3430 would be VERY good. I'm satisfied with that. (Agreed on the MHz discussion.. but it's still relevant on some level--I don't see anynoe discussing bogomips or any other measurement.. although maybe we should).

going from 400mhz, to 1.6ghz would be incredible

you're not a big fan of speed?

Its not like the atom would kill the battery life. 0.65 watts? Other tablets have it.
and x86 would rock, you could put vista or OS X on there if you wanted.

although probably wouldn't want to.

Should have 1024x600 and more RAM and be available by Thanksgiving.

Faster CPU would be a bonus too

With battery life equal to the Internet Tablets?

EDIT: Ah, you slipped the "0.65 watts" in there. Please see this previous discussion on Atom vs OMAP power consumption.

do the atoms not suspened like the OMAP processors do?
