[citation][nom]balev[/nom]Honestly, quit with the "make it faster", "add more cores" bull$#!*. There is almost NO need to make phones faster. A few games/apps will benefit. That is all. Do what EVERYONE is asking and make something with similar power to today's single core chips that lasts at least 3 days, NOT on standby, but with usage.New and more RAM and better RAM management will probably also help.LISTEN phone companies and hardware companies who provide for phones.[/citation]

And how about spending some time on call quality issues? I keep my land line because I cannot stand talking on a cell phone because of the crappy sound quality. If they make cell phones sound as good as land line phones, I can drop the land line and save a good amount of money each money.

[citation][nom]panders4[/nom]The trick to battery life on a quad-core phone is that only one core will be running most of the time. Only intensive and optimized applications will make use of the four cores anyway.[/citation]
not true...if the os is enabled to use all cores at all times

This is just insane. I want my phone to work everywhere for a month without charge and outlive falls from pockets and table and rain, not play high-def games on a tiny screen.

Graphene will replace silicon eventually and perhaps diamond in place of copper interconnects on PCB for specific application, satellites, med, govt etc.
