The smartphone will also support 720p output and "HD screen resolution" and integrate a camera with "more than 5-megapixel" resolution. But the 2GHz processor is the mind-blowing news here. eWEEK tested the Nexus One, Droid Incredible and the recent HTC Evo 4G, and found them all to be really fast. Doubling the processing speed for those handhelds seems surreal. The key will be to see if there have been any improvements to the batteries, which burn out far too quickly.

Most manufacturers refrain from upping their specs so quickly to avoid destroying sales of their current smartphones Yes, this is the truth. Hmmm... Alicia from LED Grow Lights By the way, i like there words: While the idea of a 2GHz CPU sounds good on paper, we have to wonder if it will really deliver that much more performance than current CPUs. A lot of the snappiness in a smartphone is related to the software side of things. Don't even get us started on battery life. Do you think a 2GHz smartphone is necessary so soon?

 Go dual core 1Ghz and force all your app publishers to go multi-threaded.  :-)

I have the incredible with a 1GHz processor and the battery lasts me at about 4 hours under light to moderate use.  Meaning it pretty much is dead by the time school is over which is 6 hours long.  I can't even imagine how much power a 2GHz would take.  The responsiveness is just enough on my phone.  However, there are times whens it a lil laggy, like at startup, or when i overmultitask.

2GHz gotta be good that it might outperform most atoms and in the plans for the next batch due next year sh!t. I do agree that 2GHz is necessary cause apps are always hungry and usually hardware is the one falling behind. But under one condition will it be able to last me through out the day for any cellphone needs? But then again the first batch will start the competition strong.

Theres simply no need for a 2GHz phone. Its overkill! Besides people buy phones every two years. Theres just no need to keep upping hardware like this. 

As far as battery life goes. This wont use that much more power. Android isnt going to use all 2 GHz for every click. Its only going to use what it needs.

Just because the clock speed is high doesn't mean the hardware is good. If the company that is producing the procs is skimping on various logic sections to up the clock speed they would probably be better off slower in most situations.

 For instance the current quad core procs run at around 3 Ghz, but a single core (and additional parts of the processor that it shares with the other 3) can destroy a p4 overclocked to 6 ghz in performance. Its like asking how fast a runner in a race is and I told you he can squat 800 lbs. Strong runners are usually faster of course, but  height, weight, flexibility, build, quickness and running form all play a huge part.

Gimme, gimme, gimme, I want one!  You can't wait for software to catch up to non-existent hardware.  Develop the hardware first, the software will follow.

No. I think there will be a point of diminishing returns at the expense of battery life. My EVO is fast...really fast! A 2 GHz cpu would slaughter battery life to high heaven while not making it any faster. Unless your going to edit pics and vids it just doesn't seem viable. Even then, who is going to really...REALLY get down and edit on a cell phone. But die hards will buy it anyways for bragging rights.
