Nvidia Boss Shows Off Tegra-powered Tablet

I'll have a 2 year contract, so I'll pass...

well, if it can play some basic games css, l4d2 and such as well as stream hulu full screen and a 80gb hdd... lets say 500-700max usd.

if it can do crysis... then well i don't know .... a lot

Either our favorite asian CEO is very, VERY small, or that device would be too large to make for a good tablet.

Damn he looks hot in that picture! I'll pass making a bad comment simply for that reason.

How much would I pay ? "Its over 9000!!!!!" lol

Anyway I heard something about this new Tegra cpu being the brains in Nintendo's next hand held gizmo. So I really do not need a phone to play some games.... These smart phones are cool and all but I have a less then $200 Samsung phone that slides open with a keyboard and can do the net and all that... I use it to download ringtones and occasionally check a movie time. I don't think a 600-800$ phone would be a good investment for me, about the only thing I would add to my phone is GPS for driving but if I have an address I can wing it with mapquest.

I guess what I am saying is that I refuse to spend more then $200 on a phone and it better work best as a phone first then if the other functions work good great, but if it cost more then that, my expectations jump up too. Can a laptop AND a cheaper Cell phone to do all the things this phone can do?

Might also add that my phone has no contract so I paid a bit more for it then if I had say a 2 year contract (probably would have been close to free)

Now this is a device that Nvidia could market. Tegra is a really great design and it will be interesting to see where it gets put into. Hopefully a Zune phone or WM phone.

I love how he's all like "What then, boyee?"

If I were a restaurant owner with great wifi capabilities for my POS this would be a good time to upgrade and use a future-centric system for ordering and billing as well as inventory reports.

Depends on how these tegra run tablets cost as well.....

I can see this working out for its target audience and those people paying $1000+. I wouldn't value it at more than $200-300. Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $200.

Hmm Apple Tablet Rumor, Nvidia CEO saying flattering Bullshit about Apple using the best hardware, Nvidia CEO shown with tablet...

Leads me to deduce Nvidia CEO courting Apple Tablet hardware deal.

I think its good nVidia is getting back into the Tablet arena. There aren't any tablet PCs with graphics oomf in them.

this might actually make a whole new market...
for futuristic stuff only
next up: hologram's in messenger

I like that picture. I can see him saying "look, we released something that works without wood screws, it's a miracle!"

If it is 3or4G with some contract instead of WIfi (basically free) connection they can keep it.

If this is a full blown pc tablet with a touch screen, that can run productivity apps, is multi-media capabilities, and has built in Wi-Fi as well as an unlocked 3G/4G phone, I would gladly pay $500.00 for such a device.

I love convergence!

it'd need to be no more than 1cm thick with an 8"+ screen (preferably at greater than 480p resolution), and it'd need to have at least 32gb of space, 5hr hr active battery (non-wifi), 10hr+ screenless-battery, play h.264 and divx movies, and it'd need a full-featured browser that includes Flash support (Hulu, in other words). I'd also want bluetooth, Keyboard pairing (via bluetooth would be cool) and word processing applications.

GImme all three of those and I'd easily drop 299-399 on it. I'd pay 50 bucks extra if it had cordless charging, too. I'd pay another 50 dollars if it had docking (And I'd drop another 100 on a docking station) so that I could literally use it as a pick-up-and-go PC/Mobility crossover. drop it in my station at home with a 24" monitor and full setup, and then pick it up and go for when I'm on the move. And, bluetooth folding boards for when I'm at a coffee shop.

It's ambitious, but give me taht and you've literally got the device of the century.

Doesn't matter anymore, this guy is a tool and until he's gone nVidia is second rate in my opinion....and I USED to be kind of a nVidia fanboy a couple years ago.

It kind of looks like he's been offended by something in the picture. With the whole wide armed stance and an expression that seems to pass on a "WTF man?" attitude.

As for the tegra, about 300$ if its a capable smartphone device.

Microsoft-based? Whats it worth to me?
You'd have to pay me to own it.
Wake me up when there's a Linux or Android version.

No actually it's their first attempt at a cellphone. It's still a bit on the big side, but as he's telling the journalist, the prototype was a lot bigger ("it was like, this big").

Is this thing A computer? A tablet Toy? A macboook air or thin dell with the screen put on backwards? What's the target use for this? what kind of people will be using this? is this an iphone that you can't put in your pocket or is this a full feature laptop made with maximum portability? Is it a cheap touch pad to make way for a paperless society? is it supposed to replace the pen and paper? is it supposed to replace the classic chart & clipboard?
I've seen these futuristic touchpads on star-trek and pretty much they are just mobile web devices / e-book readers, but also so cheap you could have 7 of them laying around.

That's only cool if it has android and is NOT on TMOBILE...TMO 3g coverage $ux!

Jen-Hsun Huang, "What bitch? You wanna go?"

The best part about this is the fact that Apple's hardware is pretty damn good. I wish I owned a MacPro. That damn case is AWESOME. I don't give a good god damn rats ass what any PC fanboy thinks or wants to flame. I love PC's but I'd take that MacPro ANYDAY. Too bad I cant FRIGGIN AFFORD IT. My only gripe!
