Fancy an oversized touchscreen PSP on droid?

8.9” and comes with somewhat multitouch, this is Nvidia’s answer to iPad. Round edge, white plastic-like back plate, and supposedly powered by Android. Though according to Gizmodo, the looks does not justify its capability.

Obviously it is powered by Nvidia’s upcoming Tegra 2, which is actually a dual-core ARM Cortex A9, somewhat more powerful than iPad’s A4 processor. Now, why is it gonna win Apple’s iPad? Because on the paper it has better muscle, and a gig of RAM, while cheapskate Apple’s iPad only got a puny 256MB RAM. What’s more, it has USB ports, and a good damn integrated front cam!

According to Gizmodo, “Given that both of the units we handled were running just one app each—pretty snazzy looking games—it’s hard to tell what it’ll be like to use generally, like with the front-facing camera and how the widescreen aspect ratio feels outside of a game, but the games did feel and look great, as you’d expect from the kind of horsepower inside. I wish the screen, which is capacitive for multitouchness, wasn’t quite as glossy as the iPad though. Oh well.”
