dude....tegra 4 just launched no more than 3 months and you already have a conclusion saying no manufacture would like to use the SoC coz of no integrated cellular modem?

time will tell.....im pretty sure there will some brand carry it

the separated modem do seems like a deal breaker here but if your SoC is the strongest among....i dont see why manufacture would not use it but it still up to them how they inplant it

Unlocking and rooting will void the warranty immediately.
You have to lock it and unroot again if you want to claim your warranty back.

ok thanks for the info

is it a good time to buy this tablet now? or wait till mwc is over?

If you want it now just buy it now, the wait is never ending.
New Nexus will be announce during Google event and I think you can only buy it in July onwards.

for me if u already have money and model u want just buy it..no need to wait.since when u wait more new tablet come up and this cycle never ends

You misunderstood, I did not say that no manufacturer wouldn't like it. I implied that there are better options seeing that you mentioned smartphones manufacturers. Additionally, SoC defines as System on Chip, an IC that integrate a system ( in this case, a mobile system ) on a single chip . It's pretty ironic for you to refer Tegra4 as a SoC when it clearly lacks an important component in mobile computing.

It's a intellectual conclusion, however inconclusive. Here's some articles to back my opinions.

-Furthermore Tegra4 architecture seems to be moving towards multiple GPUs, which in their theory would be improving the gaming sector. That also means that game developers should write their codes differently again to cue the execution of tasks to take advantage of the "SoC". Therefore comes the THD exclusive games. Remember Tegrazone? Good luck on that.

-Furthermore 2 : Nexus 7 v2. On Snapdragon. List of potential Tegra4 devices wears thinner

For me,dual core s3 already faster than tegra 3(tested with my acro s and nexus 7)

tegra 3 is that bad?

It's not bad. Tegra3 a good chip with overhyped 'Tegra' marketing gimmick.
For example, GTA:3 released a THD version, which contained full graphic function and details. Blurs, textures, details etc. In other versions, a lot of these additional graphical options are disabled. However, some phones like Samsung S2 ( what more S3) could handle the full version without a problem. But because it's marketed as a "Tegra exclusive", people tend to believe that only Tegra3 could produce good graphics however in reality it's the full version where else non-Tegra devices is receiving the "lite" version.

You might not have to wait long. Rumored to be announced in May. Assuming Newegg picks it up, we could get our hands on it Q3.

GTA 3 got THD version meh ?? cant find it over the store !!!

Thanks for the news.
I'm wondering whether they'll release 64GB in the next generation Nexus 7.

Tegrazone have it

i bought GTA 3 from playstore liao wor.........i guess its a same version !!

I'm in the same boat as well. Really wanted to get the N7 but will tahan myself and wait for version 2

Hopefully newegg does indeed pick it up. If not we'll probably have to do bulk purchases. There's always a way though
