iPhone 4G gets the A4 chip

Nice looking phone though.

Agreed.

A few people I know say they don't like the knew look but I really do.

Hopefully the chip will run at the full 1Ghz.

Yeah same here, but I doubt it will because of power? And possibly heat too.

How powerful is the iPad with a 1GHz A4? What sort of tasks can it perform that the current iPhone can't?

I suspect roughly equivalent to a 1GHz snapdragon, since they've got similar heritage.

Well it has to chuck around 4 times the amount of pixels in the iPad for a start...

Re: iPhone 4G gets the A4 chip

Well from what I've read on Wikipedia the A4 uses the same CPU as the iPhone 3 GS (the ARM Cortex-A8). I would imagine it's got a far more powerful GPU, but I'm pretty surprised that the iPad/A4 uses the same CPU as the 3 GS, unless they're clocked differently of course.
