Definitely a beautiful device!. I think it's a little over the top though. It seems like they are trying to go at nokia's throat by building a true multimedia centric device with flash and pizazz everywhere.

I don't know though, Unless tegra is a miracle in power management I think they are going to need take multimedia centric design as an opportunity to utilize bigger screens (thus bigger units with room for bigger batteries). If this thing drops with anything less then 1500ma batter life I think i'll stick with what I got. Putting too much wow factor in a phone and packing it with pathetic battery life doesn't do me any good if I can't wow my friends with it.

I can see it now...

I'll be at work like "Ok guys check out this phone!, come close everyone....no no everyone gather around.....ok is everyone watching cause I can only do this once....ok everyone ready?....ok ok....hey you...you ready?.....ok...here we go......*plays 4 minute demo*.....

"WOW!! that's awesome!"

"I know huh..pretty cool yeah...*smile* hey anyone got an outlet?"

I stopped by the NVIDIA booth at CES and no one was standing around the Tegra display so I walked up and had the rep giive me a quick demo of the device. It was plugged into the display via HDMI and it was mighty impressive. When I showed him the Touch Pro he just laughed and showed me what it could do. The scrolling menues were all animated and he'd hit the one with the video playing. It expanded to the screen size and the picture was gorgeous. There was a little stutter sometimes when he rotated around the menus but nothing serious and it didn't happen all the time. But, it was cool seeing the prototype up close and in action.

Awesome... How big do you think the device was?

Since it was a prototype it was pretty big.. The rep said that their platform is made to fit in phones the size of clamshells or large PDA style phones.. just depends on what the client wants and how many features they wanted. The size of the prototype was probably 1.5 times the size of the Touch Pro.

Clamshells? wow.. That is a nice platform.. Any estimates on battery life?

Check the specs out on Wikipedia... Sounds good...

So would you say it was about the same size as an iPhone?

A little bigger and about twice as thick.. Defintely not something that's production worthy but something just slapped together to show off what it's capable of in a small size.

As far as battery life goes, no comment as they don't know once the folks put the tech into the phone and all the other stuff that goes with it.
