"Intel and Qualcomm just announced their roadmaps for mobile System on a Chip at this year's Mobile World Congress.

Intel presented performance numbers of their Merrifield SoC, a dual-core Silvermont based SoC that's effectively the phone version of Bay Trail, with some carefully chosen benchmarks that compared it to Apple's A7 SoC and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 series. Meanwhile, Qualcomm revealed future 64-bit Snapdragons for its mid-tier Snapdragon series. The Snapdragon 610 and 615 will arrive in Android smartphones in Q4 of this year and are four and eight core implementations of ARM's Cortex A53."

    The phone of the future will only have 5 minutes of battery, 5 megs of data cap per month, 50 GB/s peak transfer rate, and a $200/month bill... where the market is heading is a parody of what I actually want. Some company needs to upset the market. Badly.

    I have unlimited everything, including roaming and 911, internet, no data caps, no peak transfer rates, no contract, and I pay $40 per month. You're just looking at the wrong phone companies.
