The latest Nvidia Tegra APX 2500 demonstration video. OMFG! That's the 1st thing I said. Well, The best way I can describe this device here is take an Iphone and inject it with steroid and that is accurate. Quake 3 game is like playing on ur favorite console. I can tell that the framerate of that is astonishing.
I just hope that carriers do not cripple this awesome features. Coz this is a prototype device. Of course, Nvidia will have to show all the best things that the phone can do. And we all know carriers think different. So to much for reading. Watch the video and see for urself.

Oh yeah! Micro$oft is making a phone that is powered by Nvidia. What else could it be? The Tegra is the best fit. I remember recently that M$said that they will not make a phone based on Zune. Well, it's not based on Zune but will be powered by Nvidia. The competition is just gonna start when they release the monster chip. Finally! Micro$ofts answer to the Dominating force of Apple.

According to the article, Nvidia never mentioned linux in any of it's interviews and demo. Apparently, Nvidia made a deal with M$ to carry their flagship. Bad news for our android brothers out there. The phone will be showcase at the 3GSM event this coming feb. Whooohooo. i really am curious what's it's gonna look like. M$ released a mockup phone as a concept of what a phone should look like in the future few months ago. Will it look like that? It's looong and all screen. I'll post the pic if I find it. Well, the waiting game begins. Atleast now we know who's working on the chip. Hit the link after the jump.

That article is so anti Microsoft. I wish people would stop bashing WM. It's really not that bad an OS. Anyway, hopefully the forthcoming announcement will be the one I have been waiting for, a Tegra/WM 7 device.

Why did U say it's anti M$? If they're anti, they won't bother reporting it anyways.

From the article:

"In any case, well-placed sources tell the Inquirer that the phone is powered by the long-promised Nvidia Tegra chip. This means battery life measured in minutes and a long list of promised features that mostly work as long as you don't mind the odd bout of data corruption. Ironically, this is quite the natural fit for an MS OS.

In the end, we only have three months or so to wait. It has all the pieces to be a stunningly mediocre product, with none of the things that made the iPhone or Gphone great. About the only thing you can say is that they have a mostly functional store in place now."

Unless the article is being sarcastic, it sounds as if they are already judging the phone to be inferior to the iPhone or Gphone simply because it will be running WM. Either way I'm looking forward to seeing what this phone can do.

WHat a lot of people do not understand and a lot of people here(Not talking about U popdog) Is that people are trying to hide the flaws of M$ OS. If We keep on doing that, M$ will not stand-up and bust their behind to give us a better product. A lot of people say,"AH, TP is the best phone ever" so whay do microsoft needs to improve if that's the case? Let the reviewers critisize M$ so they will be pressured o come up with the best product for us consumers. Did that make sense to U?

If you follow Windows Live, that is exactly what they are going for. They want Live to be the one-stop shop for email, photos, homepage, etc. the way Google has been doing for a lot of folks so far.
