The Aava Moorestown platform - For your viewing pleasure!
Chippy released some more info about the Aava Moorestown based handset today.
The MeeGo version on it is really early in development stage at the moment so a lot of stuff is lacking.
He did run a SunSpider(a performance test for Javascript) test though. The Aava handset got a result of about 4.2 seconds with the Firefox build that was installed. Probably it would shave off a second or two if it had a newer build of the Firefox browser, or another faster browser like Chrome.
It's pretty decent figures, about what some netbooks does. The Nexus One with Froyo installed completes the test in about 5.7-6 seconds(depending on device and Froyo build).
There's no denying that the Moorestown platform packs some punch, but it will be interesting to see what the latest dual core Qualcomm processor will do, as there is no doubt it will shave quite a bit of the Nexus One's times.
Chippy also posted a longer video on YouTube for your enjoyment.
Aava Moorestown - handset released in the wild
The awesome Moorestown based handset that Aava mobile showed off at Computex has now been released into the wild!
It's not widely available, but Chippy over at Carrypad has received a unit. Apparently it's a developer unit running MeeGo with a rather early version of the UI. But several features are working so more information is to be published within the next 48 hours says the temporary owner.
It will indeed be fun to see what the device can handle, as the performance mentioned at Computex certainly was impressive.
MeeGo is also the OS that Nokia is putting all their faith in for their upcoming smartphones, so it could be nice to get a glimpse of the future of that OS as well.

Aava Moorestown prototype running WOW
At Computex Aava Mobile showed of their device based on Intel Moorestown architecture again.
Apparently it can play the full PC version of WOW. They couldn't log on to the American servers and show gameplay unfortunately, but it looks like the real McCoy.
They also demoed the device running Quake III Arena up to a staggering 120 frames per second! They claim that the device would be able to do this for a whole consecutive hour, which is quite good considering the CPU power it would require.
