When was this article written? Didn't the writer of this article ever seen the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition? Because it already sports a physical home button...you should know that because the device was announced last Sept. 4..or was this article just copied from another site that was written ages ago???
big.LITTLE MP is not about running all cores at the same time, although that might happen on occasion. It is an evolution of the spec that allows cores to be brought on-line, as it were, when needed. The main point is power efficiency.
Look at how Apple had to make changes to their iOS to accommodate the power draw of the 64 bit chip. They toned down the graphics and upped the battery size, but spun it as improved. I like the big.LITTLE MP implementation much better for now.
After using a TF101 (10") tablet, I found even that size to be too far too large for a comfortable, practical, mobile tablet form factor. Couldn't fathom using a 12+" tablet, unless perhaps it's as a laptop replacement (with a keyboard dock, of course).
I am not a huge lover of Android but I would purchase this device. Windows 8, 8.1 is not my cup of tea. Android will soon be the dominate OS. Hopefully Android will allow Devs to develop on an Android too. This is the biggest problem with tablets is they are simple consumption devices. Soon one will not be able to purchase a true computer for developing...

Isn't Android already quite open for developers? I mean, the Play store isn't necessarily totally open, though it is quite liberal in what it lets on there, but there is nothing stopping developers from putting their own .apk files up for download just via the web. Is there a legal reason preventing devs from developing store'less apps for Android? Honestly curious.
