Nvidia CEO about Android tablets
Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO at Nvidia:
Windows is too big and it’s too full featured for smartbooks and tablets.
The good news is that we finally have an operating system to unite behind. Android is an operating system that has gained a tremendous amount of momentum all over the world.
Android has become the fastest growing mobile operating system in the world and, in fact, it has surpassed the iPhone in terms of growth and in terms of users.
Andy Rubin and his team [at Google] know exactly where the industry needs to go. Android started out as a phone but it’s not lost on them that the tablet is going to be very important and that the Android operating system has to evolve, and be enhanced in certain capabilities, in order to be a good tablet operating system.
I think we’ll have to wait until this fall. The operating systems are coming together, the devices are coming together.
Looks like we’ll see Android tablets by the end of this year. According to Eldar Murtazin, “Google asked manufacturers to wait until next Android version will be released”. Many apps already can run with no problem on a tablet, but system itself can be upgraded to take advantage of the bigger screen.
