When the Nexus One/HTC Desire were at the rumor stage, one of the impressive features they listed was 720p HD video recording. When the phones went official, that was cut down to D1 much to the disappointment of a lot of fans, including the ones at the XDA-Developers forums.

The Intel Atom CPU is ubiquitous in the netbook world, but Intel is working on new designs that will improve on current netbooks and move into tablet and handheld territory. There’s that and a new upcoming architecture called Sandy Bridge, which would become the new high-end CPU from Intel…
