They had some demos for this thing a while ago as it was in development. Looks like powerful chipsets for graphics and other processing are going to be getting more and more common and cheap. The mobile devices out now are like the old Win98 computers we had in the 90's. Mobile tech is starting to catch up to the desktop computers of the late 90's and 2000's finally

Some neat videos in there too.

i watched a couple of videos on youtube with the nvidia tegra chipset, it looks absulutly amazing, best chip ive seen or heard of in a phone hands down, i hope they really release it to the market

I just recently saw a video of this thing running Quake 3 at 30FPS or so, i was blown away. This is going to give Atom some serious competition.

There is at least one video of this that is faked. You can see the phone shaking rapidly because the whole video is sped up. Still, the UI demos look good and I look forward to seeing these chips in new high end mobiles. I just hope nVidia's recent problems with their bad graphics chips don't derail this project.
