tegra, snapdragon, OMAP3

So specs are leaking that winmo7 is going to require at least those 3 platforms: tegra, snapdragon, OMAP3.
Zune HD is tegra, HTC Leo is snapdragon, so the platforms are now out and official.
Assuming HTC were to come out with a phone with everything I wanted (headphone jack, microSD, big screen, multi-touch, totally compatible with winmo7), and it was available on each of the aforementioned platforms, whats the one to get?
(basically, if you could only follow news on one of them, which one do you follow?)

Current Tegra is based on ARM11 so it's worthless. OMAP3 and Snapdragon are based on Cortex A8 so that should be good. Tegra is moving forward though. I believe their next goal is to get a Cortex A8/A9 based CPU out there. TI OMAP is used by Nokia, Samsung and Palm. I'd follow that, but Snapdragon is sure making a lot of noise. Tegra is interesting. I see it as more of a Netbook thing because WTF is the point of Nvidia's fabless designs using an already given architecture? It's obviously pursuing the graphics business to see how it can implement a low power GeForce solution into an ARM processor to get you a good video experience. It doesn't mean it's an all around solution, and that's why current Tegra is based on ARM11.

I guess it depends on how much of the stuff you do on your phone is 3D/Video centric.

Who cares? Implementation is key.

Speaking of which, for Zii platform now, would Android be a better choice or the native OS that they supply is the way to go?

Android has as long way to go. Adoption in the US is pretty good but the rest of the world is chugging along slowly. the US doesn't exactly define the mobile market....
