"N810 is ARM11, Pandora is Cortex-A8. Dual-issue, so twice the IPC of the N810. Java should run as well as it does on a 1Ghz or so Atom."
System speed is based on more than CPU power. Android runs around 50% faster on Corttex-A8 machines than it does on the N810, this was the basis of my comparison. Number-crunching apps should be *more* than twice as fast on the Pandora, since besides the better CPU the bus speed is higher. If Java and Flash both run well on Pandora, then that puts it well ahead of other machines of the same size/price range; the N810 runs Flash well but Java is painful, the Apple i* products are OK with Java but Flash hardly exists.
