Is Nvidia’s Android tablet the new iPad killer?

Nvidia Android Tablet Tegra 2

Ever since the launch of Apple’s iPad, tablet companies across the world have been going through a frenzy of technological changes in order to minimize the size of their tablets and improve performance. The latest entrant to this game is Nvidia with their new proprietary Tegra 2 based tablet. This 8.9 inch tablet features a Dual-Core ARM Cortex 9 chip which is far ahead of Apple’s A4 based iPad in terms of computing performance, hence making is tremendously fast. It runs the Android OS which has taken over the mobile computing device market.

Tegra 2 was launched by Nvidia early this year and shows great promise in the world of mobile computing thanks to its eight independent processors, including the world’s first dual core CPU for mobile devices which is being showcased in their latest tablet.

The advantage using Tegra is that all cores can be used simultaneously or individually to optimize power usage and increase battery life. The new Tegra delivers lightning fast browsing, 1080p video streaming capabilities, and supports Adobe Flash 10.1 acceleration thanks to the world’s first dual core ARM Cortex A9 processors which run upto 1GHz.

Even though Tegra 2 is being incorporated in other tablets, this is Nvidia’s first tablet of their own. Compared to the iPad it does feel a little plasticky, but that is where its mediocrity ends, the hardware it packs makes up for its lack of “glitz”. It sports a 1GB RAM, 2 USB ports and front facing camera.

With such an amazing pool of hardware one shouldn’t be too surprised if this turns out to be the iPad Destroyer, as some are predicting.
