Plasma Mobile – Turns your phone into a fully open hacking device

I think the n900 was a great device but you have a case of rose tinted nostalgia. Today's android phones can do everything you described and more and better. For example, my phone can go from deep sleep to perfectly focused photo snapped in half a second.

I'll give you the keyboard though. Nothing beats a full keyboard.

What's the difference in the hardware between your phone and the n900 though?

How much extra power do we have to cram into the device just to achieve the same performance?

It's not the same performance by any measure. But you're right that android seems to be needlessly inefficient.

That is something of an understatement by any measure.
