Rockchip Goes 1GHz

Rockchips are the guys who make most the budget processors for the $99 tablets that excite people oh so much. Anyone who is interested in tablet tech will know Rockchip’s RK2808, which is a 677Mhz ARM11 processor. Rockchip have now announced a much wanted 1GHz RK2818, which has been designed with Android 2.2 in mind. I am not sure if it is Cortex A8 based, but I suspect it is.
It is very good news for anyone who is losing interest in their very badly made M001 and want a better iPad knockoff.

Mazda Do It Again With The 2 Sedan

I have to say, for a small car sedan, the 2008 Mazda 2 sedan is very attractive. At the 2007 Guangzhou International Auto Show in China, Mazda have revealed the upcoming Mazda2 sedan, which is built by a partnership between Mazda, Ford and the Chinese automaker Changan Automobile Group. At the moment it will only be available in the Chinese market, but it wouldn’t take a genius to predict its success and eventual spreading of markets. All that is known currently is, it will be 168 inches long, 66.73 inches wide and 58.26 inches high, making it 16 inches longer (152.95 inches) the same width the same height as the Mazda2 hatch. Price is  not yet know, but I will try and get an update when there is one. For now you can enjoy the pretty pictures.
