We've literally been waiting for Tegra 2 tablets since CES in January,
but that isn't stopping NVIDIA boss Jen-Hsun Huang from extolling
their virtues yet again, this time on a roadmap that points to just
after next year's CES. In his company's most recent quarterly results
call, Huang was bullish about the disruptive potential of tablets, but
insisted that they can't simply be built like the Galaxy Tab (or the
Folio 100, for that matter), which uses a smartphone OS stretched out
to a larger screen. "A tablet is not a large phone," says Huang, and
he's of course not alone in expressing frustration with Android's
current immaturity for the tablet realm, but once Google's slate-
friendly OS update drops, he promises NVIDIA will be ready to
capitalize: "Our tablet and phone business is going to ramp. And it's
going to ramp hard." We're looking forward to all this ramping, oh yes
we are.
