NVIDIA aiming for their own tablets and smartphones?
It would be great if they pulled that off. There are now rumors on the web that NVIDIA might be working on reference smartphone and tablet designs. These designs should by ready by mid-2013 and should then be marketed and sold by NVIDIA's (board) partners. The first 7" and 10" devices will likely arrive by May or June which would be in time for Computex.
By their own products and designs the move would be brilliant as NVIDIA can integrate their Tegra SoC designs in its own products.
The reported plan is that NVIDIA will build reference products to be mass produced by contact manufacturers. In other words, they’ll tell them how to make it and then they’ll make them cheap. Possible launching locations for these devices include Russia and India currently.
This is just a rumor, so take it as such.

vhappy with my cheap xperia tipo thx, more than enough to do phone task, PC remote controlling and spending 1h plane trips.
But if they do add some good GPUs or something it could be something to explore ~~.

Cheap, huh? No thanks. It's not worth my money if "contact manufacture" want to make things CHEAP! Say, this product cost $100.00 and they want to rip us off for $699.99?! It demonstrate a cheap, poorly made product asking for more.
