Limbo between Honey Comb and froyo

---

I dont know if I like this OS or the hardware "cpu" on the flyer,
You cant really get any of the honey-comb apps that support tablet screens.
for instance if you download skype on the flyer, the video is not supported nor is Gtalk video where as on honey comb its enabled by default, also I noticed alot of the honey-Comb apps I was looking forward to you cant see in the market from the flyer.
I wonder if maybe HTC didn't release Honey-comb with flyer because the CPU and or gpu couldn't handle the power that Honey-comb needs to run smoothly.
I noticed on the xoom that even with a tegra and duel core CPU you still get lag in the UI..
And I also tried a few games like vendetta and the CPU-GPUs way under powered to run those 3dgames where the tegra runs very smooth.
Not impressed with the power of this device I guess if it were not for the pen functions I would return it and buy a duel core device instead .
Its basically a galaxy tab overclocked with a pen and 2.3..

A lot of the benchmark test show this 1.5 single processor performing the same if not better in some cases to the dual core Tegra 2. We can't see the tablet apps because the market only shows them to devices running Honeycomb. Time will come, unfortunately we just have to wait on HTC.

Or community supportted ROMs... I'be not been privileged enough to play with homeycomb extensively, so I'm ignorant to the enhanced capabilities... :)

Here is the link dl for vendetta, works on non tegra devices.

From what I've read the real knock on the tegra 2 vs 1.5ghz in the flyer is battery consumption. The tegra 2 can underclock, correct, meaning that it will passively use less power?

I'm eager for honeycomb as well but I don't think it's the end all be all. The Sprint version of the flyer is supposed to ship with honeycomb, meaning that we should see an update to the wi-fi model in a few months at the latest. As long as I can get the USB host functionality etc I'd be happy

The battery is good enough that its not an issue. I can see how a tegra 2 would consume less battery, just know that after two days of use the battery is better than any htc device I have used and on par with the xoom.
