Flash for Android hacked into iPad
Well-known iOS jailbreaker Comex has proven Flash can run on the iPad through Frash. The unofficial mod converts Flash 10 for Android through a translation layer that lets a jailbroken iPad use Adobe’s plugin through Safari. From a hands-on video (below), it not only appears to run smoothly but includes audio and keeps working properly even after resizing the view….

Symbian^3 C7 with nHD display confirmed on Nokia’s own site
If Nokia’s N8 is just too much smartphone for you then perhaps you’d like to take it down a notch with the C7. As part of the C-series of Nokia devices, you can expect it to trim some of the specs off the N8, but not much as the flagship device of the family. You know, something very similar to the apparently leaked image and specs (pictured above) we saw a few weeks back. Parsing the XML posted on Nokia’s own site reveals an ARM-based Symbian^3 C7-00 device with a Nokia favorite 360×640 nHD pixel display resolution and 3G UMTS/HSDPA, WiFi, and Bluetooth radios. Obviously no pricing is available but you can expect it to be fairly inexpensive for what you’ll get.
[Thanks, Glen]

NVIDIA thanks Intel for saying GPUs are ‘only’ 14 times faster than CPUs
Well, we’ve gone a full month since the last episode of NVIDIA’s and Intel’s ongoing public feud, but it looks like Intel has now stoked the flames once again (albeit inadvertently) in a paper presented at the recent International Symposium on Computer Architecture. That attempted to debunk the “100X GPU vs. CPU myth,” but it also contained the tidbit that GPUs are “only” up to 14 times faster than CPUs in running application kernels, which NVIDIA has more than a happily latched onto. In a blog post, NVIDIA’s Andy Keane says that it’s a “rare day” when a competitor states that their technology is only 14x faster, and that he can’t recall another time when he’s “seen a company promote competitive benchmarks that are an order of magnitude slower.” Of course, he then further goes on to note that Intel’s tests were done with NVIDIA’s previous generation GeForce GTX 280, and that the codes were simply run out-of-the-box without any optimization — but, still, he seems more than happy to accept this bit of “recognition.” In Intel’s defense, however, the overall finding of the paper (linked below) is that the performance gap between a GTX 280 GPU and Core i7 960 processor is actually just 2.5X “on average,” which NVIDIA hasn’t highlighted for some reason.

iPhone 4 Retina Display vs. Galaxy S Super AMOLED… fight!
If the title of this post isn’t enough to entice you, we don’t know what else to say. We’ve gone and run some sunlit comparisons between Apple’s brand spanking new phone’s Retina Display and Samsung’s equally fresh and exclusive Super AMOLED panel on the Galaxy S. We don’t know if we’ll be able to settle the argument, but we’re certainly going to subject both superphones to an expansive visual inspection. Follow us after the break for video exploration of this most pressing topic.
