Re: Go for it These $500 phones are ridiculous. You can buy a full PC for that price. |

Why do I love playing vintage games on my eMachines ET1810-01? Because those are the only kinds of games it can play.

Yeah, but if it was a lot smaller, it would have the power to drive an Android based phone |

Even a 1 GHz P3 with 256 MB I still have runs pretty fast for most apps and looks pretty. Android is lighter than a typical Linux distro, which is infinitely lighter than Vista. A phone would fly with less than half those specs on that $200 pc. Think about it. The software a device runs can be just as important as raw power, especially in small devices. |
