Do you think the 1.5GHz Dual core will be plenty to run windows 8 smoothly as well as 3D games
If it's enough for Android then it's enough for WP8 I reckon. Some US versions of the Galaxy S3 use a dual core Qualcomm chip (paired with a different network chip to the international Exynos version). Same for HTC One X I think, instead of a Tegra. It's actually faster under some circumstances...Quote:

any one know if this has got a micro SD slot, or any memory card slot, thats a big deciding factor for me, althouh ill probably get this anyway for the design XD
Given that WP7 runs fine on lowly single-core hardware, I'd suggest that Microsoft would make sure that WP8 isn't noticeably slower on the same hardware. And given Android runs fine on dual-cores, you can bet that WP8 will too (or else its going to fail - badly). Although I've got to ask - if you're after 3D games why not get a 3DS or Vita? ;)Quote:

I prefer the games available on the mobile stores ive used (App store, google play) compared to the offerings on the dedicated consolesQuote:

Wireless charging? Oh boy, it's almost where Palm were 3 years ago!
Agree that wireless charging is the way forward, providing a standard is agreed upon so that innovative solutions can be manufactured.
For example, being able to have a bedside table that lets you dump your phones onto, plus power your alarm clock and bedside lamp, all drawn from a single point off the ring-main
I want you to know I spent like 5 minuites trying to find a YouTube of Barney outside the duff brewery from that episode about prohibition. I tried......Quote:

Very good idea. But i'm not sure how wireless charging will work, and if it will zapp any of the devices charging or zapp the person charging themQuote:
