Going back to the dual-core, I'm not sure on that even being ready for a commercial device by then. Qualcomm's roadmap has the Snapdragon QSD 8x50A (1.3ghz + Adreno 205) slated to hit before dual core. QC did a great job of beating all of the A8 chipsets to market, but it looks like A9 will be the first to dual-core courtesy of Tegra 2. Orion, OMAP, and Snapdragon might all play second fiddle this time around.
