Audiences were treated to something special at Nvidia’s Mobile World Congress, with images of the presentation of the new Tegra 2 3D processor, to be shipped early this year. Nvidia’s new processor is intended to be used in mobile gadgets featuring a 3D screen, while the Tegra 2 3D will have a Dual Corext A9 as its basis, and will be clocked up to 1.2 GHz, offering 5520 MIPS.

Two versions of the processor will be available, an AP25 version specifically for smartphones, while the T25 is available for tablets. Both will make use of the ARM dual Cortex A9 processor, making use of up to 1.2GHz of power.

3D conversion

Digital cameras have already arrived in the world of 3D, and 2011 will see handheld devices being taken over by 3D technology.

It has been predicted that upcoming mobile handsets will feature a Master Image TN-LCD display using cell parallax technology, which makes use of the individual cells to create a 3D effect instead of a parallax barrier, as seen in Nintendo’s 3DS console.

Threat to competition

Tablet and mobile phone users will enjoy making use of the 3D screen and being able to move the gadget around in the line of their sight, inside the viewing cone. Nvidia’s Tegra 2 3D will pioneer this new 3D technology and will pose as a threat to the Nintendo 3DS, not to mention Apple’s current generation of iPhones, iPods and iPads.

Master Image has already revealed a Hitachi handset featuring a slide-up 3D display.

Changing games

The Tegra 2 3D already promises to change the gaming platform in the mobile arena, primarily setting their eyes on the downfall of Intel, whose Atom technology cannot compete with the Tegra’s energy or graphics performance. Attempts to isolate Nvidia from the netbooks world have already backfired, with Chipzilla failing miserably in the debut in the market.

The bosses at Nvidia are really angry now, with employees doing well to keep their heads down and not make any eye contact! Why? Well, because a spy within the company has just revealed what Nvidia had played for its Mobile World Congress presentation, and it is a doozy – processing technology for mobile devices with 3D capability!

It’s called Tegra 2 3D

A slide from the company’s MWC presentation was leaked to TechEye demonstrating the new processing technology will be called Nvidia Tegra 2 3D, and it is beastly! From the tables leaked, we see that the technology will power 3D displays on mobile devices off a dual Cortex-A9 processor capable of reaching up to 1.2GHz. What’s more, production is scheduled with immediacy, if it is not underway already, with the same slides revealing ‘Q1 production’.

We should have guessed it

For some time now there have been talks about more mobile devices, smartphones included, getting 3D displays in the not-so-distant future. The big stumbling block was circumventing the need to have 3D glasses to see the effect.

Now with the Nintendo 3DS, a 3D handheld gaming console, a little over a month away from its 26 February Japanese launch date, it seems obvious in retrospect that a lot of work was already in the works for smartphone and mobile device platforms.

Speaking on the technology itself, TechEye makes reference to the DS. The site says: ‘It can be reasoned coming mobile handsets will offer a Master Image TN-LCD display using cell parallax, a technology using the individuals cells to create a 3D effect instead of a parallax barrier, as Nintendo will be using in its 3DS console.’

Come on, Nvidia!

It seems not a day goes by without something big and revolutionary happens in the mobile computing space. The Nvidia Tegra 2 3D is, no matter how you spin it, a big deal, and it reaffirms Nvidia’s position as a key player in 3D early on, given the ubiquity of the Nvidia GeForce 3D Vision Kit used in most all 3D PCs.

The tablet market feels as intense and as exciting as the smartphone market became (and has remained) since the launch of the iPhone in 2007. It represented a seismic shift in what people expected of – and wanted in – smartphones. More importantly a number of powerful competitors emerged, touting their ability to upend Apple’s early lead in the ‘smartphone revolution’.

My time

The same is happening now in the tablet space with everybody gunning for the iPad. And the next competitor who has thrown its name into the hat full force, and with gusto to match is Motorola, who’s Google Android 2.4 powered tablet is expected to drop at CES 2011.

Google Android tablets put front and centre

Motorola put up a teaser YouTube video entitled ‘Tablet Evolution’, which begins with images of old Egyptian stone tablets, building up to the still as-yet unrevealed Motorola tablet. There is a bee right at the end of the video, confirming the tablet will be one of the first running Google Android 2.4 aka Honeycomb, which is the first build of the Android software that is made specifically for tablets.

Incidentally, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard of the Motorola tablet, with Andy Rubin, the kingpin at Android, showing off a prototype at the recent D: Dive into Mobile conference. Rubin said that the device had a ‘dual-core 3D processor’ built by NVidia, and it will support video chat, too, suggesting it will have at least one camera.

What’s in the box?

While hard facts will likely only begin coming to the fore closer to CES 2011, speculation is rife about what else the tablet will be capable of. We’re almost 100 per cent sure it will come in either/or/both 7-inch and 10-inch varieties, with a built-in accelerometer or gyroscope being likely. With location services becoming so critical, expect built-in GPS and data support, with Verizon in the US looking the likely partner.

Other than that, we know little about the Google Android 2.4 aka Honeycomb powered Motorola tablet. Moto is very confident it can do what others have so far failed at – denting Apple’s early lead, and given how well the company has performed in recent months, it’d be stupid to right their confidence off as purely arrogance. Then again, Apple itself is on quite an enviable win streak, isn’t it?

Everybody has an opinion on tablet computing and where the future lies in this regard. The latest to give his admittedly weighty two cents is NVIDIA CEO, Jen-Hsung Huang, who has said he believes Android OS is the operating system to rally behind.

Better suited for tablets

Speaking at Taiwan’s Computex event, he said ‘Windows is too big’ and ‘too full featured for smartbooks and tablets’, agreeing in sentiment with our opinion on Windows-powered tablets, if not in reason (we oppose it because it was built for mouse-and-keyboard and not for touchscreens).

Having pointed out the problem with Windows 7 tablets, NVIDIA’s CEO realised the need to back another OS. As such, he said that Google’s Android OS is the ‘operating system to unite behind’.

Needs time, still

The NVIDIA CEO was careful to point out that, in its current iteration, Android isn’t quite tablet ready, and that he believed the core Google Android team realised this. Huang says he reckons come the US autumn (between September and November) this problem will be rectified.

NVIDIA’s agenda

Naturally, NVIDIA would not speak on this area if the company did not have an agenda of its own. The GPU chipset company hopes that the tablet market will be a new avenue to proliferate its product range.

The tablet OS war

Much like the vaunted smartphone OS standoff lead by RIM, Google and the iPhone, tablets are quickly becoming a proving ground for new mobile OS platforms. Windows, the leading operating system on the desktop, is making the transition, as well as Android OS and iPhone OS, the leading operating system on smartphones.

From early clues, it seems adding to the core smartphone OSes works better than trying to reduce the comparatively bloated Windows 7 OS to tablets. In this regard, it looks like Microsoft would be adopting the wrong strategy to another potential billion dollar industry, with the need to build a tablet equivalent of Windows Phone 7 Series looking more promising than what the company is trying to do.

Regardless, with the iPad’s fantastic start out the gates, and other tablets soon to join the fray, we’ll see if Hsuang’s rallying call is heeded.
