, Nov 9th 2011 Discuss [59]

Today both NVIDIA and ASUS have revealed two new products, both of them coming together here in one product: the Eee Pad Transformer Prime, a 10.1-inch display toting Android tablet with NVIDIA’s newest prized processor: the quad-core Tegra 3. The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer is the second Android tablet to have been released by the manufacturer, the first being the break-out hit original Transformer, and here in the Prime we’ve got a tablet that’s twice as powerful, in more ways than one. This tablet will be the first Android device on earth with a quad-core processor and has already been seen to be crushing benchmark tests before its official unveiling today – this is already clearly the most powerful Android device on Earth.

ASUS Transformer Prime sets massive benchmark pre-release

, Nov 4th 2011 Discuss [44]

Over the past few weeks we’ve been seeing glimpses of the next big tablet release from ASUS, one that’s all but guaranteed to carry the NVIDIA Kal-El quad-core processor, and today according to AnTuTu benchmarking system, we see that not only does this pair exist, it’s a powerhouse! What you’re seeing here in this post is a stack of benchmarks that’ve been recorded by AnTuTu (an app which tests synthetically several innards of an Android device including CPU, graphics, and more) and right up on top you’ll see nothing less than the ASUS Transformer Prime, complete with a quad-core processor running at 1.4GHz! Below that you’ll see another couple of hero devices from Samsung, (including the Galaxy S II from AT&T) but take note: they’ve only got two cores, half the power!

Grand Theft Auto 3 set for NVIDIA Kal-El quad-core optimized play

, Oct 27th 2011 Discuss [4]

You may remember back in the middle of October when it was announced that Grand Theft Auto 3 would be coming back for a 10th anniversary edition that'd work with both Android and iOS - now it appears that NVIDIA is getting in on the action with Rockstar, providing their next-gen Kal-El (aka Tegra 3) quad-core processor-toting Android tablet to the group so that they can optimize the game for ultimate supremacy. Word comes this week from Adam Rosenberg who this week had the opportunity to check the soon to be released game out on the unnamed Kal-El NVIDIA tablet, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4S. With the Kal-El tablet came the biggest surprises, both in that the game was running not on the tablet itself but through its TV-out connection, and secondly that Android's ability to work with USB controllers is programmed into the game so that an Xbox 360 controller works perfectly well!

NVIDIA CEO: Windows 8 on ARM should target tablets first

, Oct 21st 2011 Discuss [2]

NVIDIA president Jen-Hsun Huang has warned Microsoft not to position Windows 8 on ARM as PCs, arguing that tablets should be the company's first focus.

Have a bit of fun watching what appears very much to be the first look at get at what NVIDIA has decided to call no simpler a name than NVIDIA Tegra 3. Read The Full Story

Target Android tablet selection lifted above Apple’s iPad 2

, Oct 6th 2011 Discuss [23]

This week Target will be evolving their mobile selection in several places, most notably in the tablet department, where Android tablets will be much closer to the smartphone selection than the iPad 2. For those of you that follow my analytics of the Target department store chain (whose home is right here in sunny Minnesota), you know that I’ve had more than one conniption fit over both the placement of Android tablets and the arrangement of their entire mobile section in general. Just this morning while picking up some random oddities, I noticed that big red may well have heard my siren call: the Android tablets are now less than 10 feet away from the smartphones.
