    isn't it Android fragmentation if you compare iOS and Android? Or what would you call it ?

    It's simply different devices running Android (many of them even running the same Android iteration). They do not constitute fragmentation unto themselves. It is fragmentation only if you have to do something special to support different devices. If you wrote an app and it worked on 100 different devices without doing any special handling in your app, would you call the OS fragmented in 100 parts?

    If this is the definition of fragmentation, then Windows must be the most fragmented OS out there, with billions of different branded and custom-assembled PCs/Laptops and what not devices running it.

    (64 + 64) GB! :O

     

    Also, some 128 Gig cards have been known to work. That alone IMO is the best thing about any phone that supports external storage.

    err..really? Where in the world did those guys, who tested it and made it known to you that they work, even find a 128GB microsd card?

    Plus SLCD2 > SAMOLED any freaking day.

     

     

    Same here. Prefer more neutral displays.

     

    Wallpaper looks more blackish on Note's screen (looks grey here :|)

     

    Current HSs:

     

    As usual looks better on SAMOLED than on PC. >_>

     

    Once you go black... :P

    ^Also Pentile display.

     

    Amazing how confusing it'll be for spec-whores. One 1 hand, the One X has the superior display (resolution and being non-pentile), but the One S has the superior chipset offering better battery life

     

     

    For 99% buyers though, the only thing that'll matter is cost difference and size.

    One XL for the spec-whores :P

     

    In hindsight, I would feel more comfortable with a Tegra chipset than any other. It's almost certain that every app and game released for Android will support Tegra at launch, which cannot be said for other hardware such as Exynos / Krait / Omap, etc. There is plenty of empirical evidence to back this up. Nvidia has been throwing quite a bit of marketing and development dough at developers to get them on board with Tegra. Google has even hinted that the Transformer Orime (Tegra 3) is their reference platform for ICS on tablets and with the Omap 44xx in the Nexus being outdated, it's safe to assume that Tegra 3 will gain the majority of support from Google and the devs.

     

    I have decided that my next Android purchase will be a Tegra 3 barring some mind blowing spec sheet on the SIII

    There are lot of other factors to consider. QCOM now has Snapdragon game command vs Nvidia's tegra zone with lot more games. It is also collaborating with a lot of game devs and now even has an in-house game studio. QCOM also sells reference hw to devs (MDP) which Nvidia doesn't. QCOM is also releasing a lot of drivers to community directly now to engage them.

    The other fact is that quad core really is overkill as of now and for near future, and T3's A9 arch pegs it down further. If I were you, I'd instead wait for the next krait with adreno 3xx instead of anything else since the only thing that can compete with krait now is A15 implementations from TI/Samsung, both of which won't come before next year.

     

     

    First, :rofl:

     

    Second, shouldn't the OS abstract the hardware?

    It does. But it also allows game devs to talk to the hardware directly to take advantage of special features of particular hw.

    But i liked the way they released the Note in Asia before America.

    Releasing in US needs FCC clearance and then tie ups, clearances and testing from operators which easily adds a few months to a product launch.That was the reason. This time it is suspected that they will do a simultaneous launch for GSIII even if it means that they delay the Asian launch
