In that case, here is my 2 cents/1p which doesn't sound ANYWHERE near as cool.
The Tegra 2 chip opens a lot more doorways for Android. The chip itself is pretty amazing, but I do have a few worries about it
1) I know the Dual Core minimum requirement for Honeycomb isn't true, but if the Android dev team adopt a dual core device for development, Android is gonna work nicely with the nice speed it comes out with, and whilst I understand they will leave a margin for other devices. A lot of low end Android devices may never see Honeycomb because of this. A good example of this would be the HTC Wildfire.
2) In mobile phones, I have noticed that there hasn't been a huge increase on battery capacity especially as phones get more & more powerful. I am using a DesireHD (UK version of HTC Incredible) which comes with a 1230mAh battery. Whilst the G1 for those of you who remember ran at a much lower speed and should require a lot less battery. Used 1140mAh iirc, That doesn't seem like a huge jump to me. Android battery life isn't exactly amazing, which is commented on a lot. With faster chips coming, and battery jumps not keeping up, I do worry about battery life about future products.

The decrypt code is V, I could not make it any simpler!
