Oh my. Texas Instruments just announced their new dual-core OMAP4440 processor that can be clocked at 1.5GHz (possibly both cores), supports 1080P 3D video, and can run front and back (dual) 12MP cameras working at the same time. It will also provide 1.25x increase in graphics performance, a 30 percent decrease in webpage load time, and a 2x increase in 1080p video playback performance. Holy…yeah. The processor is obviously aimed at mobile devices and will start rolling out to manufacturers for testing in the first half of 2011.
Just try to take a minute and think about that kind of power. Mind blown? We also all know that Motorola tends to favor TI OMAP processors over any other meaning our future Droid brothers will most certainly see these inside. More info at the source link below.

wow not long until we'll see some 3D devices? I'm excited at just the thought!
Please be in the next Droid X. The Droid X2, double the pleasure, double the fun. Also does not hurt to include front camera, LTE and higher res display. Who needs a tablet when you have this?
After seeing this… I may, or may not need a towel, if you know what I mean.
Maybe with this bad boy you can see people in the windows of the new Google Maps….
Woah I am in awe
1.25x gpu performance— that's not much is it?
It didn't say “front and back” 12 MP cameras…in fact, that would be pretty pointless (why would I need a 12 MP camera for selfshots/videochat?). It says it can run *two* 12 MP cameras, and the obvious reason for that would be for 3D pictures/video capture, which makes a lot more sense.
Good call. So does that mean it only supports 2 cameras? Or will they be able to do the two 12MP cameras for 3d on the back and then have the 3MP or whatever on the front for videochat?
Are you saying we're all too ugly to be seen with a 12MP front cam?
I mean, have you *SEEN* Conan in HD? Horrifying.

now THATS what I am talking about and the exact reason why the tablets and phones right now are of no interest to me.. because stuff like this is right around the corner
gonna need a bigger battery.
Just strap a small gas-powered generator to your back; but be sure to refill it with gas each morning … problem solved (except for the noise, exhaust, etc – hey, I can’t solve all your problems!)

Yummy. It almost makes me want to wait until next summer to purchase a new droid. But my contract is up in February . What to do?!
Thats how I feel, but im in the opposite situation. I was going to buy my way out of my contract in march but seeing this and that it will become utilized in h2 (my contract is up in november).
Holy Sh*t!
Now that's what we all are waiting for! Laptops are going to go the way of the dinosaur!
and a battery life of 47 minutes….
now thats some damn good news….
Hopefully I know what I'm getting for Christmas 2011…
Droid X (Squared)
This is awesome until moto puts blur on it and hadicaps the phone at the knees.
Oh…That's All It Comes With…
I wonder if that WUXGA support means we'll be seeing this in tablets with 1920×1200 displays? Or better yet, super high def phone screens!
Now this is why im holding onto my upgrade.
It has a 4G modern too…. Not really a suprise though
My next questions is , “Is this really a 2GHZ processor that's tuned down?” or will we see a 2ghz processor in 2011 from TX or Nvidia??
I WANT IT!!!!!!!!
Darnit… I have been waiting for the next best phone now for years! I can never buy a new phone because there is always a better phone coming out soon.
Jk
This will almost even out the lagginess of blur
Almost.
Friggin' SWEET! And to think these guys were once making these just for calculators. GO T.I.!
For those making battery comments, unless you're using both cores at 1.5GHz (which would be rare)…most times you'll actually be using less power:

This processor is amazing but without some serious advancements in battery technology whatever phone this goes into won't be able to be unplugged for more than an hour. Lol
Up for renewal in July, so looking forward to a phone with this or Tegra 3. Man…almost 3x the factory clock speed of the OG (though just 50% more than what I have it clocked at), plus dual-core…and probably quad-cores on the way. This + honeycomb = money.
This is gonna be better than Tegra 2, u just watch
My mind is blown
I feel like Pavlov's dog right now….
Ooh… geek pr0n! Very sexy! 🙂
as if battery life isn't bad enough as it is with smart phones
don’t worry this won’t be true when Nvidia releases their Tegra2 processor with Ultra-low power (ULP) 🙂
Facepalm/////// they will obiviously make better batteries.
First, I am wondering if this is dumbed dowm
