New G2 HP Prime

[grsbanks]

When I made that comment about the G2 booting up in less than a second, it was not meant to be interpreted as "look how slow the Rev. C is compared to the G2, surely something can be done about that!", it was meant as "look how fast the G2 is compared to the Rev. C."

Leaving the O/S to one side for now, the fact is that the CPU in the G2 is faster and better optimised than the one in the G1 and the G2 uses faster RAM, so even with no improvements in the O/S, it's still going to be faster thanks to the more up-to-date hardware. Because of this, I'm really not convinced that backporting the G2's O/S to the G1 will give that significant a speed-up. Then there's the question of whether or not it's even possible given the tighter constraints of the G1's CPU (less RAM, less flash space etc.)
