Amazon's quad-core 'Hollywood' tablet may ship later than expected

Quad-Core? Will you be able to warm your coffee on this also?

Too bad.

Typical DROID delays. Just wait to get an update….lol!!!!

Stop trying to make a tablet that will give a Cray a run for its money. Tablets don’t need quad cores, it is a casual computing device. It needs to get on the interwebs, play Angry Birds, check email, that’s about it. Make an inexpensive tablet with quality materials that has a great app library and you will put a dent in Apple’s market share.

It couldn’t be that Apple’s prepaying for millions of components years in advance would cause sourcing problems for everyone else could it?

I’m not too disappointed. I don’t see a quad core processor as necessary at this point, and I’m more interested in the 7″ size anyway. For me, it’s all about the screen – if it allows me to replace both my Kindle and my iPad, I’m buying one on pre-order. If not, Amazon’s going to have to convince me that it does most things better than an iPad, which is not going to be easy to do.

Didn’t know you need quad-core processors to read black & white e-ink books.

Of course this has nothing to do with Nvidia again over-promising, under-delivering and purposefully promising an unrealistic and overly optimistic release schedule for their next-gen Tegra SoC that will ‘blow everything away’, right? /s

By the time the first Kal-El hardware becomes available quad core OMAP’s, a next-generation Qualcomm SoC and the Apple A6 will be around the corner, and 2 months later Kal-El will again be the weakest ARM SoC of the bunch.

i was really hoping the amazon kal el tablet would come out this year so this is crushing “news.” i don’t know if i will wait till next year to get a tablet. if i can get the touchpad for $99-$150 or if the transformer2 comes out with kick ass specs and price to match then i might have to jump on it.
