But look at the Shadow, it\u2019s faster than Galaxy S and the Nexus One with Android 2.1. Our prediction is that the Shadow is most likely running Android 2.2, as we don\u2019t expect the PowerVR SGX 530 GPU in the OMAP 3630 to beat the PowerVR SGX 540 GPU in the Hummingbird CPU in the Galaxy S. For a detailed analysis of Hummingbird vs Snapdragon, look <a href=\"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/?p=17125\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>So what does this mean ? <\/p>\n<p>1. Shadow will be slower than Nexus One if it is running Android 2.2 and comes with the rumored specs <a href=\"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/?p=18384\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. But the good news is that it will launch with Android 2.2. <\/p>\n<p>or<\/p>\n<p>2. Shadow is running Android 2.1, and outscores Galaxy S and Nexus One with Android 2.1 which would make the Motorola Shadow the fastest device with Android 2.2. <\/p>\n<p>Exciting times ahead for sure.
