He may have said release but a lot of people don't understand the difference between announcement and release. I've seen many mistakes between the two on his blog (no offense Maximys, I think it's a language thing).

An OMAP3 or a Tegra would be just as good. Let's hope it has plenty of RAM and on-board memory.
Does anyone know if Android allows apps to be installed in the memcard now? From what I remember, this wasn't possible in the first version of the OS.
Can Android run on an ARM Cortex A8/A9 cpu? or an OMAP for that matter? I've noticed ALL Android devices are using Qualcomm's chips.

Android can run on any ARM based SoC as long as the manufacturer sits down and writes drivers for it. |

I thought Snapdragon's scorpion is a Cortex A8 CPU  and yes android supports all ARM platforms that works on WM and WebOS which is simply another linux distro for mobile like android. and WebOS uses 3430 platform - so Android supports Cortex A8 CPUs

Thanks Razec ... I was refering to platforms made by cpu corporations have them for Android. Meaning Android based on Linux, drivers are critical and most drivers CANNOT be simply written without license grants from proprietary ownership. I'm curious as I'm unsure if any chipmaker other than Qualcomm makes chips that are used by Motorola, HTC, Dell, and soon SonyEricsson??
Am I wrong or just misunderstood?

Misunderstood.
It is up to each handset manufacturer to choose the SoC they want and write drivers for it. The chipset manufacturer has basically no role in it, rather than push their wares to the handset manufacturer with claims of how their product is better than the rest.
You don't see anything other than Qualcomm on Android because nobody bothered with the other platforms on it yet.  |

Yes, I said "release". Maybe on my blog there are many grammatical mistakes, but there are no mistakes between "announce" and "release".

I don't see why a release in Q2 in not reasonable. That's 7 to 10 months away

It's alright I was just checking. It is reasonable, but I have learned from the past to take any word of release with a grain of salt.

*other Xperias announcement in MWC / release in Q2 |

so november is all about kiki and rachael ... hm ... nice
but from a marketing point of view hardly a wise decision
cause these announcements will draw the attention from their new line up(saito,x2...) - after all christmas is the most important sales time in the year

I think it's a great marketing strategy. Although all the 3 flagship models are touch-operated, given their different OS, I think that that would distinguish them enough from each other and would suit different needs and tastes. I see it this way:
Satio - Imaging flagship
Rachel - All-rounder (that is more geared towards the Iphone segment)
Vulcan - Business |
