Nvidia CEO: Hardware Makers Uniting Behind Android for Tablets
Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO at Nvidia is making comments at Computex this year about tablets, and focusing that “Android has become the fastest growing mobile operating system in the world and, in fact, it has surpassed the iPhone in terms of growth and in terms of users.” Huang also commented on NVIDIA’s new Tegra 2 dual core CPU and on-chip graphics platform designed specifically for tablets and mobile PC’s.
Tablets are shaping up to be one of the highlights of the annual Computex show in Taipei, where hardware makers are showing off their latest products and prototypes. Most manufacturers are expected to show off tablets, with some designed to run Android and others Windows. But Windows isn’t the best choice for a tablet, said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO at Nvidia.
“Windows is too big and it’s too full featured for smartbooks and tablets,” Huang said, speaking with reporters in Taipei on Monday. Smartbook is a term used to describe low-cost laptops containing processors designed by Arm instead of x86 chips from Intel or Advanced Micro Devices.
