Nvidia Going Green and Going Mobile

Nvidia will be showing off their new Tegra brand for mobile application processors at this week's Computex. Their first processor for smartphones, the APX 2500, will be joined by two other processors showing that they are serious about targeting the fast and growing Mobile Internet Device category.

Like Nvidia, Intel already has huge plans for its Atom line of processors, but Nvidia is focusing their strategy on power consumption and the ever so popular green trend we see almost everywhere. Green also being their company color simply represents a coincidence that falls in their favor.

Another interesting point to note is that their products are also designed to work exclusively with Microsoft's Windows Mobile Software.

Tegra processors are expected to arrive by the end of this year just in time for the holiday season. To read more about this Cnet article, click here.

iWindows 7?

Microsoft unveiled an iPhone-like touch screen feature for its new operating system, Windows 7, yesterday at the "D: All Things Digital" conference and announced that the expected release date to be in late 2009.

Chairman Bill Gates calls this an evolution away from the mouse claiming that some tasks could be done much faster than using a traditional mouse. The multi touch technology would allow users to shrink and enlarge photos, much like the near one-year-old iPhone. But at a surprise to most, the new technology will be able to work with existing touch screens. So does this mean that our screens will also have the messy fingerprints that always magically appear on our iPhones?

So why so late in '09? At the pace Apple is releasing new products, they may even have something similar, or even newer and better before Microsoft will be able to ship their new toy. It's interesting to see how this will all pan out...
