Toradex introduces NVIDIA Tegra 2 module on a RAM-sized stick

If you took one look at the picture above and figured you were looking at a stick of laptop memory, I wouldn’t blame you. The new system from Toradex certainly looks like RAM SODIMM.

NVIDIA: Tegra 2 is on track

There’s a rumor going around today that NIVIDA’s next-generation Tegra chipset has been delayed and won’t be available until late August — which would mean that we wouldn’t see any of the new tablets and smartbooks based on the chipset until August or September at the earliest. That would include the Mobinnova Beam, Notion Ink Adam, and a number of…

NVIDIA Tegra 2 tablets + Flash = full web experience

Google Android doesn’t currently support Adobe Flash, which means that a fair number of web sites look like they have blank boxes when you visit them in a browser on an Android-based tablet or smartphone.

One of the hottest product categories on display at Computex in June was the ARM-powered smartbook.

NVIDIA: Windows CE is better than Android for Tegra smartbooks

NVIDIA’s Tegra platform combines a low power ARM-based processor with NVIDIA graphics to power ultraportable devices capable of displaying 1080p video over HDMI while using very little power. But ARM processors, which are much more common in cellphones than laptops these days, don’t run Windows. Or rather, Microsoft hasn’t ported Windows XP, Vista, or 7 to run on ARM processors….

mobinnova-elan

While you might not really expect much from a mini-laptop running Windows CE, the Mobinnova élan is definitely raising some eyebrows at Computex.
