Default Google will release Motorola Phone (soon to be 1st party) with full H/W acceleration?

Fanboys, just leave this thread. I am not interested in comments like "You are a hater, go away" "it's fine" "I am happy with, fast enough, deal with it".

What do you guys think? I know other manufactures won't take the time to integrate the hardware, takes a lot of time and money, but seeing as it's Googles own OS and Motorola will be soon owned by Google... Do you think Google will take the first step? If they do, then other manufacturers can't stay behind (google essentially forces others to follow), or do you think google will never do this "backstabbing".

It just annoys me that Android is still not silky smooth despite having a duo core in contrary to other single core phones that have their GUI powered by the GPU.

HTC and Samsung already make HW accelerated phones.

Sense on the sensation is laggy no doubt about it, touchwiz for the galaxy s2 is smooth though.

But I was more thinking about the default android launcher, the default browser, etc. I mean if a stupid ipod can have a smoother GUI than a duo core HTC sensation then you get the picture.

Gingerbread is not Dual core optimized, next version of Ice Cream is
so it's too early to assume things about dual core doing no good on Android

Google already owns Motorola Mobility, but google did say they will not control Motorola Mobility actions, they continue to run as an independent company, and still have to compete to get the Nexus Manufacturing every year

Donation is appreciated but not required, a cup of Coffee would suffice

The default launcher is smooth as butter unless you have a graphic heavy Widget that's polling.
