Well,i am not too sure Symetric Multi Processor is the way to go for mobile phones.
I think that asymmetric multi processor,with each processor optimised for one thing that it does correctly and efficiently,is a much better approach.
The main processor should just have power saving capabilities like mobile version of PC CPU have.

Sounds great, but people working in the mobile and embedded industry know, it is not gonna happen anytime soon. Right now, the multicore technology is not yet mature. at least, not yet close to consumer usage.

Using multicores will be the biggest hit in the processing with the merits of increased bettery life,efficient use of each core,required weightage to each application,quick outcomes and major of all,personal satisfaction of using the most advanced technology.

Hopefully this also rids the problem of not enought power caused by the critical operating programs sapping power, preventing new applications from opening!!! My XDA Mini S had major problems caused as result of this!!!

Using 2 "slower" cores and switching one off when it's not needed seems to be a clever way of increasing battery life.

Although...I'm not expecting any incredible processing power gains.
