360? I just can't imagine playing Puzzle Quest on something other than a touchscreen (laptop/DS)
This reminds me of the Pico USB Flash drives my girlfriend uses as earrings.

I might her get two of these Wink ones.
BLEACH!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!
She was made in a lab. A mad scientist decided to combine the soul of Dante from DMC with the body of Tina Fey.
I love Commander Keen!
The Who > The Beatles
Rock > Pop

I own both Discographies. Bury me, I don't care.
As much as I love my DWL-730AP, this one is 802.11n

I'm enjoying my native multi-touchscreen support on Windows 7. I know, it's old and all the other OS's do it but... oh wait...
That's Windows Mobile 6.1, not Windows Mobile 6.5
The start button is still at the top
There is nothing new here guys. This is a simplification system. OpenCL and GCD are just there for it to be easier for developers to do this. OpenCL and GCD do not have any specific speed benefits. It's makes it easier to code right.
For comparison's sake check out Mediacoder. When they added GPU encoding, it got faster. When they added multicore support, it got faster. When they added 64bit support, it got faster.

But you can't say it's worthless. I just makes things easier to be more efficient. But you're talking about the benefits between managed code and native code. Well written native code will always be faster. But Apple's performance hype is based on comparing sloppy native code with proper managed code.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
