Sprint/Evo fans,

Okay long time lurker and long time poster (April counts) I just wanted to say what a great time to be alive in this period of technology.
I have been around since 386x Intel micro processor! (16 MHz) I have grown to help pioneer PIII intel processor (800Mhz) and create Intel P4 processor (2.4Ghz). I am now the grandfather to present desktop processors today (iCore 7).

I have never been more excited for a piece of technology as the HTC EVO. WiMax will bridge technology gaps like never before. I know along with the amazing hardware combination and true mobile broadband experience it will be something like never before.

I was a early pioneer of Wimax, and tested it in 1998 inside the walls of Intel.
I am extremely thankful to see the enthusiasm on this thread. I can rest knowing that every decision was sound not only for the company but the future of technology. I am fortunate to know a friend with his own technological law (Moor's Law)

Doubt that's the same person...I don't see a 74 year old executive officer staying up for 16 hours to work on a project :D

Hah - though for what it's worth, I personally know a few very healthy for their age folks in their 70s, who hardly sleep, and are insanely active doing the different things they love (one cooks & another coordinates events @ church).

And IF you're one of the founders of Intel, I think you JUST MIGHT be passionate and crazy about technology to spend your waking hours with it... ya know, just sayin MAYBE! ;)

that's a crazy idea. i never thought of them releasing the phone on the day of the movie. i thought they only chose to use the movie to market the phone. that would be awesome

Hey, how about.... pre-order's start on the 24th as someone had mentioned here yesterday (sorry trying to catch up) and on pre-order day you get a free movie ticket to go see the movie... I could see something like that happening!
 
I know most probably don't care, but the Incredible got a OTA update today and it seems all kinds of messed up. The update was supposed to fix the ongoing exchange issues the device is having. Instead for a lot of people it either A) will say they can download it but it wont download, B) make it so Flash Lite wont work, or C) cause some battery/signal issues.

Yikes! :eek:

I just think your knowledge is spot on and how refreshing it is to converse with someone out side my JET team. I want to first thank you on my ability to explain little about cell phone processors. I still would like to go on the record that I am a PC processors engineer and doing the best I can to put the pieces together.

First, let me give you uber kudos, cuz you are correct, with regard to the die size of a Snapdragon processor .45 nanometers! (Those that care, same die size of a Nvidia 285 GPU)

The Snapdragon processor has built in DSP (Digital Signal Processor), 3g radio, built in Wifi, and for EVO exclusive 720p codec, 3d GPU, and GPS processor, and a host of other stuff.

I make processors that just do computing and when I look under a microscope with all that stuff listed above...I am truly amazed...I look at it (Not Snapdragon, something similar) and all fits on on your pinkie nail!!!

Back to your post...I am impressed with you knowledge and you are correct. THe total die size of a Snapdragon processor is about .45nm, including all the stuff listed above. The .13nm would be the Snapdragon core CPU micro architecture. I was only able to find Samsung Humminbird core process specs using .35nm process technology and that is rather large for today standards, witch is the equal, to Intel p III microprocessors chip (ca.1997)

I guess to finish you question. Further die size has nothing to do with the ability to transfer data. to certain extent. Die size is more in the ability to transfer...(Okies Jocks hit me) electrons. If you have one metal layer (Copper (Cu)) or what ever your processor is made out of. That electron has to travels to whatever transistor that is going to in order to give a (Yes/No) signal. Then let

Does nobody read my posts? LOL post#9362. I feel like I am invisible, I will post something then a day or an hour later someone will post the same thing and be like "I just thought of this" lol. I guess that is okay though because if I am wrong nobody will remember I said it! :)

SHO_ONE this is not directed at you. Everyone has been doing it,LOL :)
 
Since my posts keep getting "reincarnated" and the last post was a WHOLE 2 pages back I will re-post to share the scary thoughts in my messed up mind. This is what I said in post# 9362 so nobody has to look it up,lol. It is basically what I have been saying for weeks now.

Ok long post coming ...I was the first person to say anything about the Evo being released on or around the Prince of Persia release, glad to see people finally agree with me or came to that conclusion on their own. i have been saying this since we found out the phone was tied in with Disney and P.O.P. Also as I stated way before that, I think the JUne 6th and 13th dates are line in the sand dates. These would be the latest dates that the Evo could be released. A lot of companies will set these dates and then if things work out they will release the product sooner. I also believe if the Evo is releasing with P.O.P. we will begin to see TV and other types of ads for the movie, the phone and together very soon, at least by the 12th if not sooner. As for the surprises that we are to see when the Evo is released here are a few ideas.

A. The Evo will come loaded with a Prince of Persia game.

B. The Evo will come with a Disney app allowing for the rental and or purchase of Disney movies to be played on the Evo and TO CONNECT THE EVO TO YOUR HI DEFINITION TV AND WATCH.

C. May come with a free Prince of Persia movie ticket or a pass to download a digital copy when the time comes.

Of course EVERYTHING I SAY IS SPECULATION!!!! But I have worked in the cellular industry and have been privy to see how some things are handled i.e. launches. Also I don't just sit here and say what if, I research and use clues and logic. That being said if the Evo does not come out until the 6th or 13th of June what can I say, it is only speculation!

And WHY are you reposting your own post, that's only a few hours old to begin with?

jackson had said the evo would be running a modified 2.1. also there was mention a couple days ago that froyo was actually 2.5 which threw me off because i suspected like most, that froyo would be 2.2.

if you put what jackson and bsod say together it makes sense that froyo = 2.5 and that evo will run a modified version of 2.1 (aka 2.2).

i really dont know about all this pop tie in talk though.

And to add to this, if you check Jackson's posts a while back, he actually mentioned 2.5 and people jumped on him about it like 2.5 was completely off.

I'd go back to all the original posts and post the links, but I don't have the time to look through.
 
What I cannot believe is that we have not seen any good leaks of the EVO in the wild. Even if the release is June 6th that is only a month away. Usually by now someone posts a pic on Twitter or we see a video on Youtube. Sprint must have one killer NDA in place.
