Since it can't really be compared to the desktop version of 3dmark, it can't really be any better than any of the other benchmarks out there. Still, I look forward to having awesome visuals come out of my phone.

I'm guessing it will only run on android 4.0 or above? Not 2.x phones which are about 80% of the android market share?

meh, i'll pass...... unless it comes out for 2.3.4 that is.

would people really buy it? i mean with people who have high end pc's they buy it, run it and compare thier builds and specs... with a device there isn't much customization so what is the point i have a samsung galaxy nexus... which will probably perform within a few % margin of error the same as all other samsung galaxy nexus phones

Seems like a waste of money to buy a benchmark tool for a phone you can not upgrade.

This is propably more for the gazillion mobile phone tester / review -sites. Also good for raising awareness on "true" performance between architectures (might be good for Intel too), and maybe eventually between mobile OSs.
