I don't think it is. Higher processor speeds mean lower battery life, and bigger batteries mean heavier, bulkier devices.

The vast majority of users want the tablets for things like websites, email and Skype, which the current processor can apparently handle pretty well.

Also don't forget that there HAS been a processor upgrade of a kind, OS2008 increased the clock speed from 330mhz to 400mhz.

As far as the "no physical input" stuff, I honestly think there's room in the world for keyboard and non-keyboard devices. There's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all mobile device just like there's no one-size-fits-all car. As soon as the iPhone hype had died down, which portable computing device became the new must-have darling of the media? The eeepc with its full-size keyboard.

As you know by now i really like the tablet. But seriously when i just open contacts and it says loading contacts.... but the moment i press anything it says contacts not responding do you want to close. same with the rss reader. And both the rss reader and the contacts applications are really normal stuff that are expected to work without maxing out the cpu.
It may have been acceptable either with the 770 or with the n800 two years back .But after two years if you still have to wait for the contacts to load before you use any other app..... i dont think that is development of any sort.
I seriously think the tablets are very low on firepower.
I dont want to play 3d games or use photoshop .... i just want to use contacts and rss feed simultaneously..... is it such a huge task?

Please Nokia add Centrino Atom processors to the N810 and wimax version!

You again! Go do some research before you spew your gargbage around, please.

More like 1 year 3 months. :rolleyes: :p

But, yeah, I, too, am ready for a real generational upgrade (OMAP3! OMAP3! OMAP3! texrat has already as much as confirmed it). :D

Well, no, not really. Newer CPUs are more efficient than older ones (particularly OMAP3s versus OMAP2s), so you can upgrade performance without impacting power usage. Look at the upgrade from the 770 to the N800—same battery, same battery life, much, much better performance.

If CPUs only got more powerful at the cost of power usage, then we'd need small nuclear reactors to run modern machines at the power efficiencies of 70s "PCs". :p

OMAP is no x86

Yeah the post in this thread which says listen to krisse ..... which i think hints at the cpu upgrade coming with the omap3 chips.

Does any one know when can we expect the omap 3 chips to be used in the next generation internet tablets? And what speeds and ram can we expect from omap3?

My personal projections would put it somewhere Q3-Q4 2008, but, as Nokia hasn't said anything on the subject, there's no telling. ;)

You can probably look to the Pandora for similar specs. My money is on something in the 600-700MHz range with 256MB RAM (the Pandora is 128MB, but I don't think Nokia would go that low).

Have a look at this, if you are interested in OMAP3:

No no no. I meant the other stuff. :p

So you mean the hardware upgrade is going to come sooner than that?
Well if that is true..... i am a little happier.
