The Galaxy S lll is coming out in the next couple of months and the rumor mills have it set up as the most advanced phone yet.
Quad Core 1.5 processor
LTE 700
720 x 1280 pixels (720P HD), 4.7" Non-Pentile screen (Possibly)
12MP Camera
[email protected] video recording
NFC
Active noise cancellation
So, my questions are...
1) where does the cell phone industry go from here?
2) How does it improve on this phone?
3) Why would it have to? After all, this is still a phone, not a portable computer, that is what tablets are for.
4) Can this be the last phone I buy for the next 10 years?
rumor mills suggest s3 is already out there and is none other than note but still a device actually named s3 is not denied in the future.
About the improvement, it won't stop. Something will be improved further and further, for example better GPU.

You know, that is a pretty sweet lookin' phone, but it totally makes sense to me if they're going to do what I've heard (from the rumor mill) about Android 5 (JellyBean?). The rumor is that you can pop your phone into a specially designed laptop, and the phone will do all the processing for the laptop, and Android 5 will be designed to support that sort of UI. Not sure how that'll work, not even sure if these rumors are true, but it would explain a quad core and everything.

Very true, this is my first Android phone, and before this I could only call and text (reasonably). Just the fact that we can install our own programs and do development make these pretty nice little computers.

XDA ! If I were to buy a new phone, well actually PDA tbh, which one would it be?
I was thinking about Android 2.2, screen >= 3.7 inches preferebly with multi-touch capability, GPS, 1ghz CPU...
So generally I was thinking about Galaxy S, Nexus One...
What do you think XDA?
I think you should use google and youtube to get both detailed specs and then VIDEOS of all the phone you are interested in. We can give you our opinion all day long but it doesn't mean crap at the end of the day. YOU are going to be using the phone, not us.
This is a personal device we are talking about man. When it's all said and done, it's YOUR personal preference as to what you get. Do the research, buy what YOU want and you will be happy with it.

@Travikk
Almost all high-end phones have those specs u mentioned up there. My suggestion would be check out the hw/sw issues of each of the handset you have in mind. Decide whether you can do away with those issues. Some issues could be too critical for you to be ignored but not for someone else.

Yes, as I said I think I narrowed it down to 2 models, but maybe thtere is a phone which I didn't even consider in the first place; that's why I'd like to get some opinions from you guys
So i log into my news channels and do a search for HTC Inspire just like i have done for the past 2 weeks.. i run across this artical: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/feb/8/kellner-htc-inspire-4g-is-nice-but-no-iphone/ i get done reading it and have to do a double take saying, 'Wahhhhhhh'.. this journalist.. FAILED miserably in his testing of the HTC Inspire. I just had to share this monumental fail with someone else. he talks about the RAM of the phone when compaired to internal memory of the iphone. he also talks about how you cant control the volume with the headset on corded headphones. read the reviews at the end of his artical for a good laugh
Regardless of whether he was the most expert professional in the field of phone reviews - the article was written with the grammar and structure of a middle school student.
What he actually managed to convey - was how he had no clue about android devices. I don't know what impression you guys got, but this dude must have had all the settings on full blast/5 min sync interval etc. etc... you know, the stuff that all comes switched on that most people logically edit, disengage and customize.

This is why I don't think anyone will have any trouble walking into an AT&T store on Sunday and walking out with one. Most of the phone using public is unaware of the power of Android phones and AT&T doesn't do a very good job of pushing them either. I think there will be plenty of Inspires to fulfill demand come Sunday.
I stopped reading when he said the Inspire only had 8GB of RAM. He didn't even get the storage right much less calling it RAM. You have 4GB onboard and an 8GB sd card. 4 + 8 still equals 12 right?
Whhaaa? * in minion voice*

well the inspire had 768 MB on board RAM for the OS and programs to run in. the 8+4 GB flash is for storage. Atrix has 1 GB of on board RAM which would be nice. BUT coming from the tilt 2 with 128 MB of on board ram for windows (been running android on it) Android still runs decent and is usable so I am looking VERY much forward to getting my hands on this piece of hardware.
Tech Specs from HTC: http://www.htc.com/us/products/inspire-att#tech-specs
768? That's more than iPhone 4, correct?
Damn Im siked.
iPhone 4 specs here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_4#Processor_and_memory
The iPhone 4 is powered by the Apple A4 chip, which was designed by Intrinsity[citation needed] and, like all previous iPhone models, manufactured by Samsung.[43] This system-on-a-chip is composed of a Cortex-A8 CPU integrated with a PowerVR SGX 535 GPU.[44] The Apple A4 is also used in the iPad where it is clocked at its rated speed of 1 GHz. The clock speed in the iPhone 4 has not been disclosed . All previous models of the iPhone have underclocked the CPU, which typically extends battery life and lowers heat dissipation.
The iPhone 4 has 512 MB of eDRAM. The additional eDRAM supports increased performance and multi-tasking.[45]

but again you can have the fastest hardware in the world but if the software is not programmed to take advantage of the hardware its crap! one reason apple has done so well is they do a decent job with what hardware they have also they use the WOW factor for sales! and to tell the truth it works! android is learning from this from what i can tell and they are getting there!!

NVidia Tegra 3 has now revealed its whitepapers and guess what, the upcoming quad-core processor runs on 4 + 1 cores instead of just four. Check out the link above and the attached whitepapers!
Feeling excited? You bet. The whitepapers include various benchmark performance comparisons and detailed information regarding the soon-to-be released SoC.

Actually, no. If you have read the article, you should know that the cores are not used simultaneously for every single task.
The attached picture in the article shows how the cores are utilized separately, so in reality, the companion core is there to help you save battery, not drain it further.
Does this documentation being released imply that the first kal-el tablets should be here soon??
Actually Tegra 3 was due end of August but reportedly because it wants to co-release with the Asus Tf2 and ICS the unveiling is delayed even until now. Expect October!
I really hope so as October is only a few weeks away, but isn't it weird that not much info has been leaked about any specific Kal-El devices.
I mean we know that the TF2 will have Kal-El, but how come not much info is known about the TF2 itself. Usually specs and some pics or something leaks way ahead of release.
I'm just worried that my wait is going to be dragged out until 2012

Hardware-wars are a GOOD thing. It means more choice and lower prices with more feature for more people. This is how wealth gets extended deeper and deeper across society--by making more goods and services accessible even at the low end .
So, does this mean Tegra 4 will be out in a year when Windows 8 launches? I can't wait to replace my iPad with a Win8 Tegra powered slate!

Yes, all thanks to nVidia's ULP technology. Now with the companion core it further dumbs down the need for all four cores in casual tasks and distributes tasks evenly.

I prefer a more optimized Android which requires less computing power than hardware wars.
This is like computer programming again: fewer devs willing to optimize their software and mostly rely on exponential increase in hardware powers.
But wait! You may not know that the hardware power will not increase indefinitely. And all these four-five-eight cores SoC will be some niche market items.

I would liked to have thought that ASUS would have been able to steer away from the Prime's signal reception debacle. Good find, for I had overlooked that "detail". Aside from the rather modest specs, then, we possibly also have a dysfunctional device.
I must admit I *am* interested in the ViVoTab Smart -- full Windows 8 (so not the RT version).... We'll see. Even if I get my hands on that (or another similar) device, I will keep the 70 around for a long while to come. (I recently started dabbling in Android 'programming' via AppInventor, which needs a full-blown OS -- that's why I'm eyeing Win8 tablets. I detest Windows 8 RT.)

Bought one for my wife. Works great, runs smooth does everything she wants and best of all its a 10" for $100 over a 7 inch. It also doesnt have the IPS setting for outdoor or the Gorilla glass.
Its a fine device just a lower cost alternative to a $500 unit.
She went from nothing to the lower than TF700 resolution so she doesnt notice it at all.
Adding:
I should add that I ran quadrant on the store demo and the benchmarks panned out as one would expect:
HTC One X
TF700
TF201
"Your Device"
then the big drop to the other samsung/google etc.. products. So its just below performance of my 201 but as I said, for my wife she loves it and can't quit playing angry birds and surfing the web! She hasnt opened her laptop once in 2 days and she couldnt stay off the thing.

If it suits you that way don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
But if you truly believe you can't see the difference between 1280x800 and 1920x1200, put a Tab 2 and a TF700 besides eachother on the same image. I'm working on my mum's tab 2 atm, there are blurs on all the letters! The anti aliacing is horrendous!
I'm searching to buy the original OTG, if someone have one.
I just stole all the asus apps from one for the next CROMI There are 6 additional asus apps. Altough they are fairly simple. Artist, Studio, PinPal, Sticky Memo, Story and To Do List
Looks like a good budget device to me.

Nexus 7 by a billion gazillion miles. 1080p screen, serviceable dual cameras, immediate updates, quad core GPU, stereo speakers.
Or maybe the N10? The new one isn't here yet, so you should prolly wait a little.
Currently, nobody can beat Apple at tablets, though. Just my opinion. Seems there are more apps that are optimized for the large screen.

For $230, you can't expect something like that to be future-proofed. What you could do is sell your old device in an emerging market, where the demand is high and supply low, and use that extra cash to upgrade frequently. But the N7 def has more to it than just the hardware. It is as close as you can get to the stock experience, so there is very little lag. And there is longer support by Google. It gets a lot of dev attention. It is also very cheap.
Seriously, if you want a good deal, the N7 is the way to go.

or perhaps I'm looking for a tablet? I'm not sure if a mini tablet is whats best for me.
Any suggestions for a good cheap normal tablet?

You could wait for the Nexus 10. But yeah, there really isn't much selection as far as budget Android tablets (or any Android tablets) go.

Uhhh... you may want to think this through. While you do have a limited return period, it is best to read a good amount before investing in anything. Unless you have money to burn...

well technically i decided about 3 hours ago and have been doing none stop research. Everyones telling me nexus, i'm loving everything about nexus. 200+ dollars doesn't break the bank and i cannot find anything better.
I normally do tons of research, but i think this is an easy call right here.
took me litterely 2 months to pic out my ms g60 gaming laptop
however i was in china atm, so i probably could of chosen better, but in china that was an amazing deal.
alright
bed time, will check this thread in 7 hours.
Be sure to get the new N7 for that price by the way not the 2012 model.
