Low cost Androids are better and better. I think this chip may not be able to run heavy games well, but for everything else it will have no troubles. And 720p will be enough for most people.

Keep in mind that not only Android, but it can run any OS which complies with the ARM architecture.

You mean WP? LOL
MS must find some1 to make WP8 phones first before thinking about what chips to use.

That's why you are so...
Anyway. I mean it can run Linux, various RTOSes, can be used in STBs, media decoders, embedded apps and yes, also WP. Please don't narrow me down as WP fanboy. I am not.
And why do you hate WP so much? Did MS kill your dad?

WP only allows one chip maker and that is qualcomm...no more no less...
thats why ST ericsson will exit mobile chips as well coz they lost their biggest client, nokia!

If it is the same powervr sgx544 gpu found in the ti omap chipsets, it will run games just as smoothly. People need to understand that the cpu is not used nearly as much as the gpu for games.

Not so sure, Android grows very fast and hardware has problems catching up, but with JB things improve hugely for sure.

There are many people still have to use phones with much worse CPUs and don't have money for current quad core phones.
