I want it!

If it works well enough on the dual CPU smartphone, that might be enough incentive for me to upgrade.

Of course, If I'm the extent of the market, they're probably doomed. I'll take an internal office pool of the geeks in the immediate vicinity and report back later.

Sadly, using my phone would be an upgrade over what is provided for me in my office (ya i'm a grad student...).
