Electricpig.co.uk is reporting that there are strong rumours regarding the NVIDIA Tegra chip (used in the Zune HD), being used in Mobile devices – with Samsung and Moto as prime candidates!
The original info apparently came from DigiTimes, and apparently a number of the Top 5 handset vendors have ordered the chip – amongst the reasons being that it can eke out high performance HD video and 3D GFX, without shredding the battery!
Of course it may be that a Tegra-powered, dare I say Android-based, handset might pull Moto out of the quagmire they are in currently with Mobile devices – there are plenty of people out there that would be ready to buy Moto again if they can deliver something on this level!
So let’s wear the rumour cap well, and hope this turns in to something more concrete soon!
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
