I find tilt based racing controls even worse than touch screen controls. The touch screen wheel is much better.

I really enjoy tilt racing with Real Racing 2 HD on my iPad. The large size makes me feel like I'm holding a steering wheel (albeit a rectangular one).

^Yeah, I can see that it can be fun on bigger screens like tablets. On small phones, its not fun.

 

The gfx of shadowgun can put even some crap titles on pc/consoles to shame

 

Yup. Gameloft has got some competition now.

Yeah. Angry birds is great. I didn't like asphalt 6 etc as well.

cut the rope is an awesomesauce game. Try it, its free on getjar. @danny - agree, the best part is it works absolutely smooth even on my xperia neo V which is a single core phone.

 

 

also, there is game called "Leave Devil Alone" its 90% similar to plants vs zombies. Every plants vs zombies fan should try this.

I am yet to find a stock Android game or application which utilizes dual cores properly except benchmarks. And I am sure it will take a long time for devs to start creating apps specifically for dual cores since there are sooooooo many single core devices around. Here is an interesting article on it:

Had someone like iChillies posted this, we would have been flooded with comments like "iOS fanboi suxxorz ! Android's teh POWAAAAR !". :lol:

Ecosystem >>>> Tech specs, but hey, how will Android sell phones then ? ;)

 

Edit: And before somebody kills me, I'm a huge fan of G Note. Of it's amazing screen & the clever use of stylus. Android or otherwise, they have nailed it with the Note.

Have you seen the device in action? The stylus is far from perfect. The native Samsung Apps use it somewhat, but thats about it. It can be used to navigate the menus and thats about it. There is tremendous potential, but for that there need to be lots of apps to utilize that potential.

 

From GSMarena review:

 

The S Pen isn’t exactly instant - in fact it's slightly on the slow side, but with the kind of precision it offers does its job quite well. There is room for improvement, of course, but even as it is the fancy stylus opens quite a lot of doors to the Galaxy Note.

And things might get even better if developers take the challenge when Samsung release the S Pen SDK in December. The potential is there, but the Samsung-developed apps only use some of it. It’s up to the devs to take care of the rest. The necessary pre-requirement is for Samsung to sell enough Note units to make it easy for developers to monetize their efforts or the whole thing will be in vain.

 

And if the drawing aspect of Note is appealing, then see this:

 

 

There are many such stylus available from different manufacturers for S2, Iphone etc.

^^ The fact that it comes bundled and can be handled smoothly by a variety of in built Samsung apps makes it more easily accessible to people who aren't on the forefront of tech. Plus a 5.3 inch screen is simply :O. Roomier to use and thus easier to handle.

And yeah, I did try Note in Jumbo 2-3 days back (and since been a fan). I think the stylus is a precedent of things to come.
