Hi Rog. Are you going to continue giving us information now that you are closing your site?
If time allows, sure. But that has become a rare good lately, so we'll see...

ehh... I mean if it able to run fully utilize power of quad core, shipping with quad I don't think that would mean to be a native support.
I doubt if we will follow the same route as it gingerbread ran on dual-core again!
ICS does not have support for Quad Core CPUs. Only Dual core. |

Upcoming Qualcomm MSM8960 GPU benchmark score surfaces
Transformer Prime with TEGRA 3 came in AT 50.4 fps in NenaMark2 while the MSM8960 got a 54.9.
1280 x 800 resolution vs. 1024 x 600.
based on the scores the performance is very close.

Do you have a source for that statement ? What exactly do you mean ? Are you saying only 2 cores will be used at any given time ? I think you're just plain wrong here. Multi-core support was added in Android 3.0, here's the source:
http://developer.android.com/[....]-3.0-highlights.html#multicore
Here's a review from almost one year ago:

Here's a performance test that shows more than 2 cores are being used:

ICS has support for multiple core with full hardware acceleration, multiple cores support was introduced with honeycomb.

While these new cameras might suggest that Sony still has faith in the point-and-shoot category, that’s not really the case. In fact Sony has admitted that point-and-shoot cameras are a dying breed and are slowly being replaced by smartphone cameras. With cameras on phones slowly getting better and better, we might be just a year or two away from witnessing the death of the point-and-shoot category. This may not matter much to companies like Sony who also make smartphones but will to companies like Canon or Nikon, whose main business is making cameras.
We may only hope that Sony will improve camera quality on their phones in near future.  |

The point & shoot camera scenario is perhaps applicable to the handheld games market too, where they are being replaced by smartphones. Although the 3DS seems to be selling well, Sony's PS Vita has gone below 19,000 for the last week we've seen statistics. |

So it seems Sony is following Samsung's naming strategy with one-letter names (Galaxy S, R, M, W, Y). So next round it will be the Xperia S2 etc ? I kind of prefer the previous short names, easier to remember (Arc, Neo, Ray). |

Well its Samsung that copied Sony and not the other way around  . Sony uses alphabets for their models since a long time. Like Vaio S, Z, F, E, C series. Cybershot W, T, series. Walkman A series, Z series, X series etc. Now since Sony is the sole owner, phones also use the same naming strategy. Even Bravia used the same naming convention - W, X, Z series bravia. |

Seems the ST-Ericsson NOVATHOR U8500 chipset is used in the new midrange Samsung Galaxy S Advanced, so perhaps ST-Ericsson is gaining some traction now ?

This handset should be a direct competitor to Nypon (Xperia P).

That's a nice minimalistic design. But why 16 megapixels?  If you check the specs of pro sports/reportage cameras you'll see they max at 16-18 megapixels and their sensors are times larger than those in P&S cameras like this.

Some people simply don't understand that more megapixels on a tiny sensor doesn't give you any better picture quality, in fact, it gives you only more noise! |
