Video Daily: Nvidia-powered Android tablet in action

Engadget managed to do a hands-on with the new Nvidia Tegra 2-powered Android tablet today, and it looks very nice, so far.

The powerful Tegra 2 set has dual-core ARM Cortex A9 processors, a chip that is a full generation ahead of the iPad's A4 chip.



Additionally, the tablet has two USB ports (the iPad has none), 1GB of RAM (iPad has 256MB) and a front-facing camera for video conferencing.

The WSVGA screen is 8.9-inches.

There is still no word on when the tablet will be available, or at what price, but for now, it is fun to look at.

  If I was to get a tablet that would be it! But I can't see getting that, its more like I'm going to stick with laptops.... lol Its basically giant smart phone... Y not just a laptop with a keyboard that way you can play all games with out problems I don't see the point of this beyond the a few key media things that might be better with it like movies, or tv shows idk really.... and such idk but if you in to that, thats not a bad device especially since it has usb hook ups... shit everything should have usb hook points by now, everything!!!!

  Nice but it would be cheaper and better if they would have gone with AMD/ATI instead of NVidia but let me guess they are all part of the same parent company.
