In terms of CPU size, I believe that the OMAP4430 (12mm x 12mm) is even larger than the Apple A5 (12mm x 10mm). http://www.windowsfordevices.com/c/a...unveils-OMAP4/

At the Rogers tablife event, it was clearly stated that their demo (even with multitasking) was running on a single core. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sEUipZkLy0 Of course they are lying. They are in the middle of an OS transition and they…

QNX has put flash on 20 million cars and cars have a lot less CPU power and a lot less RAM than the tablets out there. Web designers are web designers --- if they put in a "1 minute to load" splash page with h.264 flash video, then they are also …

The FCC docs showed that RIM put in a slightly bigger battery --- it's now 5400 mah (instead of 5300 mah that was originally announced). I think battery life is going to be fine, or else they won't have just increase the battery size by only 2%.
