Doesn’t OMAP’s memory bandwidth is more than Tegra 3 and Snapdragon? But Tegra 3 is Quad Core, and even GPU is updated? Then why iPad 2 beats Tegra 3 by miles on GLBenchmark? We had a lot of similar questions while we wanted to opt for one. If you followed Kernel developments you’d know that OMAP was definitely the next SoC supported by Google, so this decision had to be made on our end and fast.

In this tutorial series, we will develop a native Android application where the user interface is implemented using the jQuery Mobile framework. For this purpose, we will introduce a model for representing UI screens in a native Android application using jQuery Mobile page elements, in particular, container and content pages. Although the tutorial code is developed for contacts management, the basic concepts of the model are generic and can be applied to applications where the UI is suitable for constructing via HTML and JavaScript.
