Samsung “Omnia W” is expected to employ a 1.4GHz CPU and NFC support?

hmm, i see, some article writers probably have iphone, while others have android or WP7 (and maybe bada ?) and they can write different articles about the same thing, as they prefer a OS over the other i guess.

everyone interjects their own bias into their writing.. thats natural. thats also one of the reasons i like michael, he is normally pretty objective compared to some of the other writers. that and he gets in the dirt with us and defends his writing.

Nice catch, Peter.

As this article was written by John V., and the Wave 3 article was written by Daniel P, my guess is the two authors have different opinions on spec sheets. Daniel goes on to say that the Wave 3 will not steal from a GS2 device, so he feels a dual core is a difference maker. For Android, it is. Google is preparing to optimize the Android experience to use dual core tech. However, W7 Mango is optimized to the single core tech, and runs just fine. I am sure Bada is designed to run on single core as well. It does seem a little unfair, but different writers opinions cannot help but slip into their articles. Still, it is an unnecessary negative comment.

Agree with you there, exept on one thing ; )
bada probably is designed at the moment to run on dual core, so thats probably true, but my guess is that in the future samsung will design bada to use dual core, maybe by the time wave 4 is announced bada will be optimized for dual core ?

eventually sure. I think they will all go dual core as the term "dual core" starts to invade consumers minds... just so they can say they have it. Most OS's like iOS, WP7, and Bada dont really need dual core. Since android is the only true multitasker of the group it really needs it. iOS ran fine on a 600mhz chip.. android however was choking until it got to the 1ghz mark simply because android does more at any one time... and its just now hitting its stride in the dual core chips where other OS's have large amounts of power to spare with the same chip.

Not all OS's need that much horsepower. Depending on who you ask its either a good thing or a bad thing.
We get so caught up on which phone has what frequencies we forget to ask "does this OS even need this much HP?" For anything but android, the answer is normally no.

Actually the only true multitaskers have always been Maemo/Meego, android multitasking needs a lot of work. You can't close the apps without using an app killer on android.

actually,
if you just hold down the back arrow, it closes the app.
Or if its more than 6th in line from the last used apps or the phone wants more free memory, it will close.

being GOOD at multitasking and having true multitasking arent the same things. I wish they would tweak it on android as well, but hey.. ya take the good with the bad.

One short edit.
I meant "bada probably is designed at the moment to run on single core" not dual core.

i guess it just shows u wp7 truly is better than bada...
