nVidia go large at MWC…

Obviously there were several hundred announcements, press releases, events and so on at MWC – however I figured this one is probably worth highlighting – if only because it shows some truly awesome UI – and we all like a good UI don’t we!

nVidia (those of meaty PC graphics card pedigree) have announced their APX 2500 platform.

If you thought the iPhone UI was spectacular, this one is a whole other level – check out videos of it running, here and here.

The specs are also quite spectacular, with up to HD-720p support (yes, that would be the same HD as for TV!), and up to 12MP camera support. Truly a beast of a platform, nVidia demo’d it running a Windows Mobile device, which the CPU and UI are designed for – methinks however they would entertain reworking this for other device vendor references!

Here is a little more detail on the specifications – if you want to check out nVidia’s site you can go here:

 

• ARM11 MPCore
• HD AVP (High Definition Audio Video Processor) 720p H.264, MPEG-4, and VC-1/WMV9 Decode
• 720p H.264 and MPEG-4 Encode
• Supports multi-standard audio formats including AAC, AMR, WMA, and MP3
• JPEG encode and decode acceleration
• ULP (Ultra Low Power) GeForce GPU
• OpenGL ES 2.0
• D3D Mobile
• Programmable pixel shader
• Programmable vertex and lighting
• CSAA support
• Advanced 2D graphics
• Up to 12Mpixel camera sensor support
• Advanced imaging features
• True dual display support
• 720p (1280×720) HDMI 1.2 support
• SXGA (1280×1024) LCD and CRT support

Next-gen Mobile devices are coming in force – within 18 months I think we can expect to see some more developments that will result in devices that have an industry impact orders of magnitude greater than Mr Jobs’ device did!
