I have a couple of 'Tablets', they are running Android OS, but are only single core 1 Gig processors. My smartphone is virtually the same as them, so as a result, even though the tablets have HDMI sockets, none of them exactly qualify for full HD playback.
'Netbooks' are finally getting dual core CPU's, so I guess the tablets will sometime in the future. Maybe Adobe's thinking is just the need for the broader range, lower powered systems that want to play HD, but can't. PP has always outputted the best quality of anything I have used to date, regardless of format or size, hopefully we will see a new 'mini HD' format that will view just as well on tablets and youtube screens alike. The problem with all these small screens is, they do look rather compellingly 'good' when playing video or looking at pictures, but as we know, this is just because we are so used to looking at huge screens that usually view anything less than the resolution they were designed for. It keeps people buying into new technology, thinking they are getting something better, but in fact its the other way around. Saying that, screen technology is getting better and cheaper all the time. My latest addition to the toy bag is an Archos widescreen 10.1" device, it actually works rather well, apart from the WIFI keeps dropping out and won't reconnect sometimes. A reset usually sorts it out, but it can just switch off the screen and go to sleep for days, not using any power, so its a bit of a nuisance really, otherwise it would be perfect. Thanks for the updates Lee. Neil.
