That is one expensive pen for an expensive tablet
Who wouldn't want to supply iPhone/iPads? So much money there

honestly speaking, looking at the track record of Apple's legal team, Intel may get sued by Apple in the future...

dun forget that Intel is coming up with their own Android smartphone and tablet as well...

Honestly, I don't really care. If Intel wants some more Apple pie let them be. As long as they can give a compelling enough platform to run it should be worth noting.

well, that is, if Apple dun mind all their CPU coming from the same company...

if anything happen to Intel, both their Mac and iDevices will be affected...

unless Apple want to accelerate their partnership with AMD...

I wonder if AMD will acquire ARM soon. Hmmmm....

anyone who's interested with Flyer, it will hit Singapore soon...

RRP SG$1098 without contract...

Wau - that would be RM2,655 which is higher than local pricing (RM2,499) so still waiting for Maxis plan for Flyer

I don't think so, The ARM architecture is licensable. many company having it, Apple, LG, Qualcomm, etc...
furthermore, AMD had acquire Imageon before (Today Renaming to Adreno), and later sold of to Qualcomm.

ARM is more of a licensing company now...

they merely set the standard of the architecture, and it's up to the makers to make their own...

that's y we ve all sorts of ARM CPU in the market... Scorpion, Hummingbird, OMAP, Tegra, etc etc...

anyway Adreno is merely a GPU...

Added on May 6, 2011, 11:00 amwell, considering that the original Galaxy Tab was also at the same price point when it was launched, i think this price is fair...

anticipating price drop real soon...

Price drop will happen real soon, see Galaxy Tab drop until RM1,599 from originally priced RM2,699, that's RM1,100 drop - less than half year...

No, AMD is acquired Imageon, this is correct because is not ATi acquired it but Imageon is a line of media processors developed by ATi. therefore, ATI Imageon renaming to AMD Imageon.
why we take this point of discussion because CPU and GPU are related. mobile CPU is SoC, Another element of the SoC is it's GPU.
If AMD have intention to go mobile market, they will not sold off to Qualcomm.

in the end... only asus transformer is value for money..

transformer supporter !!

im lazy to check the specs so jz gnna ask here

both the transformer and xoom has the same specs right? including camera and stuff?

seems like transformer with keyboard will cost around 1.5~1.7k..and xoom witout keyboard is rm2050 sold by some1 in LYN
