OnLive, the pioneer of this innovative sector, is the one of the few companies to offer this type of service right now, but as it turns out, there are other companies — some unarguably better positioned in the gaming industry — that were intrigued and inspired by OnLive’s success. In case you’re wondering exactly how intrigued, it suffices to say that in the last quarter of 2011, OnLive claimed to be serving “tens of millions” of users in the US and the …

Apparently Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha let rip that Motorola company is working towards 2GHz Android smartphone that might even see the light of day before the end of the calendar year. Unfortunately Jha did not want to say much more about this, although the word on the street is that a separate Motorola Exec was happy to spill the beans. Here’s what we know. It has been alleged that, aside from this mighty processor, this new device is going to run an NVIDIA Tegra GPU. This is rather exciting, we’re sure you’ll agree.

Notion Ink’s Android-powered tablet to be called Adam, launch June 2010?

Notion Ink’s highly desirable Tegra-powered, Pixel Qi-packing Android tablet has a new name, a tentative launch date, and an impressive but not yet confirmed price. Filling in the blanks, the Notion Ink tablet will be given the name Adam, is expected to launch in June 2010 in the US, Europe, and India, and will debut for the ultra-low price of 15,000 rupees ($321USD). All these aforementioned facts are still speculation and June 2010 is bit longer than we would like to see for a tentative launch (those projected dates almost always slip), but it would be well worth the six …

Notion Ink combines Tegra processor, Pixel Qi display, and Android into one slick looking tablet

Notion Ink couldn’t wait until CES and let everyone in on a little secret – it is a producing a not-yet-named Android-powered smartpad that will knock your socks off. The smartpad will feature the eight-core Tegra T20 processor (rumored Tegra 2 processor?) and will be the first device to use the new Pixel Qi transflective display (10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixels) which will optimize your display based upon the ambient light conditions.

NVIDIA to run Windows CE and not Android on Tegra-based Smartbooks, for now

NVIDIA to run Windows CE and not Android on Tegra-based Smartbooks, for now

NVIDIA have snuggled up tightly with Microsoft and expressed that they will be working on optimizing Windows CE for Tegra-based “smartbooks” (something between a smarphone and a netbook), as opposed to Android. According to an article over at ComputerWorld, Mike Rayfield from NVIDIA was quite clear and specific about the differences between Android and Windows Mobile, and has clearly taken ‘sides’ – at least for now. We say this because there is also news that NVIDIA is working with Google to accelerate Android when running on Tegra hardware. The downside being that it will take about a year before anything …
