Android 2.0 is not codenamed Donut, it is Eclair. Donut is 1.6

@ByTheWay - hence our confusion at the Expansys listing of v2.0 as Donut. The specs list is a copy and paste to be exact to the Expansys page.

@Penguin - it's largely because many phones are not fully fledged computers in their own space and by far the fastest growing tech category. We have already done some app reviews in the past: http://www.trustedreviews.com/software/review/2009/01/07/iPhone-Applications---10-Great-Freebies/p1

Whether this expands in future, we'll have to see...

I wouldn't call any Qualcomm chip "lightning" fast.

I miss my Xscale :'-(

The megahertz myth is even less applicable when you get to SoCs like these.

Anyway, on a different topic the article says "being Android it should be capacitive", which is not a safe conclusion to draw... the HTC Tatoo is both Android and resistive.

I'd be very surprised if it wasn't capacitive given the screen size, though.

Oh, ok, - should be capacitive, so, in other words, we don't know.

@Ben - no, as in only one Android handset ever has featured a resistive touchscreen and that was an HTC budget model. It'll be capacitive...

As I'm sure I've said before, Donut, Eclair etc are development branches, and although some of the code gets merged in to the release branch, 1.6 is not Donut. 1.6 is 1.6. Donut is Donut.

Also, it's fairly rash to consider that Android = capacitive. As far as my reading of the Android requirements goes, there's no requirement for capacitive anywhere.

The Qualcomm MSM8250 is a Snapdragon based system, and is in fact the same as the HTC Leo, bar the lower clock speed. It's a hell of a chip, and at 768MHz instead of the 1GHz max recommended speed it may well have longer battery life than you expect.

Hmmm.... Given the frankly repulsive Palm Pre pricing in Ireland, this is starting to look like an interesting prospect.
