Nvidia teases potential iPhone buyers with new phone UI
I’m sure most of you have seen this video. Nvidia released a mobile phone UI demo as an eye opener for consumers - an undertoned note to “wait and see” before buying a hip product like the iPhone. There are many ways to go about a commentary to this development. I could go on and say how cool the new UI is, with the eye candy taking up most of real estate providing no TRUE functionality as a phone. A device like this screams portable media player and gaming device all rolled into one. It just so happens that adding a mobile phone component will not up the cost by much.
Also, I could say that this phone UI is merely a concept and the merger between software and hardware is tantamount to producing a great product. What if the UI is all that is claims to be but the battery life can only be demanded for 6 hours at a time on a single charge? How easy will including a functional and practical hardware keypad be with this device?
Thus comes the next chapter of mobile computing where next gen technologies are slowly trying to be inculcated into the consumer mind. Take for instance the digital paper format as well as the migration from hardware keys to pure soft keys with the iPhone (Apple did not start it - but they sure had all eyes watching when they decided to do this).

A device like this will take years to become reality. I will still buy the iphone first.
