Savvy mobile users will not be satisfied with slow performance or short battery life, and innovations such as hardware-accelerated multimedia engines, more efficient power management techniques and multi-core architectures will all be key to ensuring that devices are able to fully take advantage of the newly broadened data pipe.
We're most interested in the ATIV S: thanks in part to Windows Phone 8's multi-core support, it's effectively a Galaxy S III for the Microsoft crowd with a similar 4.8-inch Super AMOLED HD screen, a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, a 8-megapixel rear camera and a 1.9-megapixel front shooter.
Until now all these devices have been one-off prototypes, but CUPP's partnering with Origin to make the PunkThis board available as an option on the EON11-S. The machine we played with was a pre-production unit using CUPP's single core ARM module running Gingerbread, but the company is working on a multi-core version with Jelly Bean.
