Hello all!
I guess this should be in the development thread, anyways.
Regarding to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegra
@Tegra 250 AP20H (Ventana)
Is the most confusing part of SoC types....
Is there a different build of the Ventana between manufacturers? :0
The Optimus 2x uses the wolfson DAC WM8990 chip, while the Atrix 4G uses the WM8903 according to some rumors, is this true? Plus the dac is in the SoC, not externally...
Any body can clarify this please?
(Dont want to buy a 400 bux teardown document of the tegra 2)
Thanks!
Any response/help is appreciated!

Hi folks. Firstly, could some kind mod please create an Archos Gen9 category, and move this thread into it? You will then be beyond wonderful...
I've been looking at potential tablets for awhile, and am attracted to the Archos Gen9 devices coming out for their potential modability. I'm keen for feedback on this, and to start a discussion thread. Please post for your ideas and comments.
What interests me most:
1. They run an omap4 chipset, which is well supported (with graphics acceleration) under Ubuntu's arm port. Also, Texa Instruments, the makers of the omap chips, have a great linux community around them.
2. They have 2 x 1.5 ghz processors, along with a myriad of other goodies in their chips
3. Both the 80 and 101 models have options for a hard drive. The hard drive interests me less than the space put aside to put one in, and the sata conector that goes along with it. My hopes are it's relatively easy to open up the tablet, then switch out the drive for a fast ssd. Toshiba has a 7mm ssd drive coming out that works with a sata connection. Otherwise, a 5mm 1.8inch mini-sata drive might work, if it was packed out.
4. The last couple versions of the Archos system seem to have a developers version with it, so (hopefully) one could replace Armstrong with Ubuntu's arm port with minimal hassle. Regardless, a modified Ubuntu image should work fine with this device.
Anyone keen on this? I'd like to know your thoughts on hardware modability, and alternative software that can load on these devices. I'm looking at replacing my netbook with a tablet, and seems these upcoming Archos devices might be just the ticket. Lastly, does anyone know if the 16gb solid state drives shipping with the lighter models are likely to be soldiered onto the board, or is it possible to swap them with something else, like the ssd drives included in the eepc's and acer netbooks. Cheers.
Its way to early to create a Gen9 Forum
The Gen8ers released Early November here and the forum started december

Well, one processor, but 2x 1.5GHz cores.
Apparently the G9 101 flash versions will only have a 1GHz chip (probably the OMAP 4430), as well as the G9 80 8GB model. The other models will be clocked at 1.5GHz, running the OMAP 4460.
Code:
80 G9 8GB: 1.0GHz 299$
80 G9 16GB: 1.5GHz 329$
80 G9 250GB: 1.5GHz 369$
101 G9 8GB: 1.0GHz 369$
101 G9 16GB: 1.0GHz 399$
101 G9 250GB: 1.5GHz 469$

Not really any reason for Archos to not include an SDE like they have been for the last two generations.

They aren't solid state drives. Theyr'e flash memory chips, and yes they are soldered on the board. They will likely operate the exact same way as last generation's chip, where they hosted the OS and the app storage, so they won't be replacable.
Also, it isn't way too early to start a G9 section. Most major hyped phones that come out get a section a month or so before they come out. Around next month would be a good time to start a G9 section (or start it now and have the mod for it make an announcement, and then only make a "General" section until they actually come out). People will continually post about the G9 devices here in the G8 section, because this is the only Archos section on XDA. If there were a G9 section, we could keep things separated.
Thanks for that Harfainx. Of course, that makes more sense about the flash memory chips. I still wonder how modable the rest of ths flash based units are, but think I'll be going for the hard drive versions, and pulling them apart. I'm still stoked Archos is putting in a sata hard disk to begin with, hers should be heaps more options for hacking it.
And yes, if this is the only place for people to post on XDA about the gen9 devices, this is where they will go. The fact that people are already posting means thaf we should have an area setup for gen9. Or at least have and archos area, with gen 8 and 9 under it. Cheers.

Hi,
anybody knows which chipset is built in Legend , wl1251 or wl1271 or another ti chipset?
Thanks.
Google still works for me and it says its neither one of those
(Qualcomm MSM7227)
Thanks, but i mean wireless chipset (read the tittle), not processor chipset. ¿Anybody knows?
My other friend (also called google) says its a wl1271
https://github.com/koush/proprietar...2689d010f8371/legend/proprietary/etc/firmware
Thanks, indeed it seems wl1273. This subsanes the "processor" affair.
I noticed that the nook color has a gingerbread update but the famed Samsung 7 inch tab (wifi only) p1010 doesn't.
I know this was shot down in the Q&A before but I am curious as to why given the fact that the nook color has the same PowerVR SGX530 graphics chip.
I do know the nook color runs either OMAP3621 or OMAP3622 system on a chip
and the P1010 runs the OMAP3630 system on a chip but both have that same PowerVR SGX530 graphics chip. All of the listed OMAP SOC models have the same ARMv7 Cortex-A8.
So this begs the question, what is preventing the gingerbread port? Any dev's want to chime in?
Thanks for any time & effort reading or replying.
c0le
I have also learned that the droid x phone runs the same OMAP SOC and it too has the gingerbread update.
*bump*
No reply from the dev's? Am I to assume it is just laziness?
Any idea why a nook color build wouldn't work on this model? How about one of the phone builds? isn't it the same SOC minus the cell modem and possibly Sim port?
The whole idea of system on a chip is to integrate everything.
i am not a dev but i was also thinking the same... can you post this in the galaxy tab dev/question/general tab section... it might get the attention this topic deserves in the appropriate forum
Thanks for the suggestion. I have made such a post here:

Hello everyone,
I am thinking about buying this great device (80 g9).
There are Websites (mostly german), saying that the Archos G9 has a Tegra 2 Chipset built in.
Is that right?
btw. I have the LG Optimus 2x as well, and therefore i have a really bad experience with Tegra 2 chipsets (missing NEON chip etc..)
thanks in advance

I am looking for a tablet for my family member but as there are many models with different features and sometime they overlap each other. Also price is a concern as I have budget of up to $160 (+/- $10).
As I search on net for tablets, lot of Chinese tablet came up with the price around my budget and many less than that. I summed up my search to Ainol tablets including Ainol Venus and Discover. But as I read the reviews regarding both tabs as well as other Ainol tabs, it seem as there is falling trend of quality or maybe they had such experience from having Ainol tablets.
So it would be very helpful if someone guide me in choosing a tablet from Ainol Venus or Discover or maybe better than both within my budget. Also there's another tab, Pipo S3 tablet as it is Dual Core whereas the above tabs are Quad Core. This is the another factor which made me confuse to decide for a tab. Either should I go for Dual Core or Quad Core? Please guide.
Tab with these features would be better:
7 or 8 inch, IPS screen would be plus, 16:9 screen ratio would be better, 1 GB or 2 GB DDRam, 16 GB internal memory, no GSM/3G required, bluetooth would be plus, dual camera (regardless of megapixels), Android 4.1/4.2, HDMI output, OTG port
Thanks in advance.
