HTC to Use Nvidia Kal-El Chips in 2012?

Could this be the end of HTC’s exclusive use of Qualcomm chips? In a recent interview of HTC’s VP of Marketing with GSMArena, he said there’s actually “no exclusive deal” between HTC and Qualcomm, and when asked what other chips they could use, he said “Nvidia or TI-powered smartphones and tablets are possible in the future.” Qualcomm have done very well for themselves with the rise of touchscreen smartphones. They managed to grab TI’s longstanding leadership position, which happened with the rise of Android and the fall of Nokia and RIM (who mainly used TI chips). But perhaps the biggest reason Qualcomm …
Android Ice-Cream Sandwich Coming Late October. OMAP 4 Devices to Get It First?

Remember Notion Ink? Well their CEO, Rhan Shravan, says that Android Ice-Cream Sandwich is coming out late October, and we should probably believe him, because he’s the one who also told us about Gingerbread a few days before it launched last year. He casually mentions this in one of his blog posts, saying ICS will come out late October, and their Adam tablet will get the update in November. Now, their Adam tablet is based on Tegra 2, but he confirms that ICS’ chip of choice will be the OMAP 4, but that either means there will be an update …
On Kal-El+, Wayne, Grey Chips and Nvidia’s Future
by Lucian Armasu on Sep 13, 2011 0 Comments">0
The recent Nvidia roadmap leak shows us what Nvidia has in store for late 2011 to late 2012 period. We can see Kal-El in there, a never before seen Kal-El+ (most likely an upgraded version of Kal-El), Wayne (Kal-El’s next-gen successor), and Grey (seemingly a low-end chip). Kal-El+ was to be expected, although many people seem surprised that it exists. We learned last year when we first heard about the dual core 1.2 Ghz Tegra 2 3D that Nvidia was planning on releasing a “new” chip every 6 months, instead of just every year. That’s not very shocking considering all …
Asus Transformer 2, Kal-El, and the Future of Notebooks (and Tablets)
by Lucian Armasu on Aug 17, 2011 13 Comments">13
Nvidia promised us (again) that we’ll see their latest Tegra chip at the end of August in tablets. I don’t know if it’s their fault, or the manufacturers’ fault for adopting the chip late, or perhaps they all wanted to wait for Android 4.0 to launch it together with Kal-El/Tegra 3, but the first tablets with Kal-El got delayed until October. The first tablet that is supposed to have this quad core 1.5 Ghz chip is apparently Asus’ next-gen Transformer tablet. The first Transformer The first Transformer was probably the most loved Android tablet from the first wave of Honeycomb …

According to NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, the new wave of Android tablets is going to rock the world. Indeed, it’s true! Here’s more. Most recently, he told Reuters Technology Summit in New York last Monday that tablets using Google’s Android platform could overtake Apple Inc’s red-hot iPad within three years as improved versions and more applications hit the market. He added that these new versions of Android, most especially Honeycomb, will beat the iPad as developers make more games and other software to use on them. Jen-Hsun Huang even said, “The Android phone took only two and a half years …
