It's not about the amount of cores (though you'd certainly need a fast processor to compress that thing). Here you'd be limited by.. memory bandwidth. Highly compressed 3940x2160 comes with a bitrate of about 150mbit/sec.Want to record a 3 minute video of an artist performing a song? That'd be almost 4gb with high compression rates that scream for a lower resolution and lower compression rates to improve the quality. BUT.. Uncompressed, a SINGLE FRAME would be 50mb. That's 24.51 Gbps with 60fps. To put it in a perspective a 5 minute video would take 919.12 GB. Your system has to handle real time compression of that thing and that'd be equally hard for fast dual cores and quad cores almost equally.
It's okay. I think Pittsey has one. I think it's more expensive than the Ipad though, and I'd rather get an Ipad 2 after all. I can't exactly explain why. I'd also rather get the Samsung 7.7 tab. There's a dual core processor but the device is super cool - the form factor is somewhat nicer imho and the super amoled screen on a tablet is pure awesomeness.
But the transformer price is an all around good tablet, I'd say.

On Monday, my employer wanted me to set up his email on his iPad 3 and buy stuff online for him - so I had a good hour or so using it. The device is nice to use for the casual user, but FUCK ME is it heavy, and it get's frustrating having been an Android consumer for some years now. If you want to use it a lot, it does get annoying without having a 'back' button. Android is a lot more coherent. I told him to get rid of his iPhone and new iPad. He agreed on the iPhone but said that there's no way he'd get rid of the iPad. He'd probably end up getting a newer iPhone anyway...
It would be nice if Apple could get the Google Drive app, because i'd like to set him up Drive, making the switch from Dropbox.

The $199 Tegra 3 Android tablet is coming, and sooner than you think. Nvidia unveiled its plans for a tablet platform it called “Kai” this week, demonstrating how it plans to democratize the Tegra 3 SoC to make it considerably easier for low-cost OEMs to bring high-performance tablets to market.
While no products have been publicly announced just yet, Kai seems to be an evolution of the Asus MeMo 370T, that 7-inch $249 ICS tablet that debuted at CES and subsequently disappeared. There has been talk that the product was co-opted by Google to create a sub-$200 Nexus tablet, and that it will debut during Google I/O next month, but right now it’s all speculation. The latest rumours are that Google delayed launching the tablet until July to ensure it could hit that $199 price point.
Nvidia’s CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang, told a group of shareholders that vendors are already building tablets on the Kai platform:
Our strategy on Android is simply to enable quad-core tablets running Android Ice Cream Sandwich to be developed and brought out to market at the $199 price point, and the way we do that is a platform we’ve developed called Kai. So this uses a lot of the secret sauce that’s inside Tegra 3 to allow you to develop a tablet at a much lower cost, by using a lot of innovation that we’ve developed to reduce the power that’s used by the display and use lower cost components within the tablet.

Google, with the manufacturing assistance of ASUS, has been rumoured to release their own Android tablet. This could very well be a Nexus branded tablet with the size expected to be 7-inches, selling for about $200. New overseas reports from DigiTimes suggests the Google tablet is in the works and will start shipping in June, followed by a full release in July.
DigiTimes originally said a Google and ASUS tablet will be available “as early as May,” but were quick to backtrack, stating “Google originally planned to release its entry-level 7-inch tablet PC in May, but design and costs did not reach its expectations, and the product was delayed to July for some minor adjustments.”
According to their “upstream supply chain” sources the Google/ASUS partnership have ordered 600,000 tablets. 600k is a massive number of Android tablets, considering that one of ASUS’ most popular tablets – Transformer Prime – managed to ship approximately 80,000 tablets within its first couple months. However, the June shipment date seems a bit realistic as Google I/O is happening on June 27th, so we could possibly have an official announcement then.
