Anything that needs to run through Java will not be as good as native apps.. that's Android's biggest problem and was a historical design constraint. Back in the day, they didn't have the time. There are rumours Google is trying to fix it, but it takes time. Not to mention it is against Google's interest to create something that is not "always on", so it will never be quite like Windows, OSX etc.

While these SoCs don't have instruction sets of desktop processors, the video in the link shows decent performance. I suppose we will have to see. The article does point out the failed windows RT as well. I'm totally ignorant on what the difference between RISC and CISC is.
Yeah, that's what I was hoping for, that I could get MS Excel, and Word, on a tablet. The android versions aren't all that great. After that I'd use google maps on android only.
