- avt123O.G.I hope this device has a good virtual keyboard. Supposedly the one on the new Torch is bad according to this review.

And while I personally don't have the imagination to envision all the capabilities that would come along with quad core..I'm sure that if there are some amazing apps/programs someone is able to run off them..they wouldn't mind plugging in while doing so.
The real benefit to quad cores is that they will also tend to come with a faster gpu and that is something where there is still plenty of room for growth.
I mean..who carries around laptops without powercords? EVERYONE expects to have to plug their laptop in..it's just become second nature. I see this being no different in the future of cellphones..even with QNX on handhelds.08-19-11 03:00 PMLike 0 -
The problem is that the public have been conditioned to expect their phone to last all day under normal use and expecting them to use them as standard plugged into the mains rather than doing such a thing to give their battery a top up will take a lot of convincing, especially to a market that has been conditioned to think that a couple of extra mm of thickness on a phone is a bad thing when it is far less bulk than a charger.
While I agree that most people expect to get thru a day with a charge..despite what haters say..most Androids and iphones do this. Its the people who only expect to charge every 3-4 days that seem to think this is an issue. And judging from the amount of iPhone and Android sales..I'd say most people are comfortable with having to charge a phone periodically.08-19-11 05:57 PMLike 0 - I disagree..to me it only seems battery life is a real necessity to people who visit forums..and read that battery life should be a concern. Most people I know ..including friends and family who have any type of smartphone..when I ask them how long the battery lasts they just shrug.

People who NEED mobile phones vs people who want Mobile phones is the difference, those that just want them can charge all the time, those that NEED them generally are concerned more about Battery life because they can go 12+ hours of heavy use while not being anyplace close to a charger,
the BULK of sales of phones go to people who want them, not need them,Jake Storm likes this.08-19-11 06:48 PMLike 1 - If this is true and the specs, are accurate, then say goodbye to Playbook sales. What's the point of carrying a 4.3" device and a 7" device just for "bridging" and access to email. By the time the QNX phone is released, it'll have email, and all of the other RIM PIM goodies. So, why would you need to carry around a playbook at all?
