These are AMAZING....1080p and 720p handheld devices! Dang!!! The Tegra can also be a phone, holy cow!!
http://www.nvidia.com/page/handheld.html
look at this demo video playing/exporting 720p video fluidly
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7R90A7ZqLU&feature=related
AMAZING!
of course, they're computers, not cell phones..
how can it be a phone? or you mean VOIP phone?
the tegra is GSM capable, but not CDMA, darn look at the video on their site...see the signal bars in the upper left partway thru the demo. has phone capabilities
click on the "drivers and download" tab, then "View UI demo" on this nvidia site.

oops, they havent announced the gsm model yet, darn...i hope i ddint leak anything. i have a friend whoshoed me the gsm model at nab2008. he works for a subsidiary of nvidia, said he wasnt even supposed to have it yet.
i hope they blow apple out of the water....these make the iphone look prehistoric
"Tegra 600 Series products are true computers-on-a-chip"
"Tegra APX applications processors bring the power of visual computing to the palm of your hand, powering next-generation Microsoft Windows Mobile-based smartphones, portable navigation devices (PNDs), and portable media players (PMPs)."
Nvidia is calling these mobile chip-sets Tegra & Tegra APX
Nvidia is not making its own line of cell-phone it is only showcasing what their on-board processor's/chipset's(Tegra & Tegra APX) are capable of. These processor's will be migrating to windows mobile first.
"with the chip itself (based on an ARM11 core) able to run at speeds up to 750MHz, and encode and decode 720p high-definition video, opening up the possibility of some pretty capable cellphone / video camera hybrids. Of course, this being NVIDIA, they also squeezed in some of their GeForce graphics technology designed especially for low-power devices, which they say is to allow for 3D interfaces"
"No exact details as to when and where we can expect to chip just yet, but it'll apparently start to make its way into phones sometime next year, with Windows Mobile in particular able to exploit the technology in the chip -- no surprise there, given Microsoft's hand in the chip's development."

Damn 800mhz...those things will probably be like 1300 dollars out of the box.
yeah qualcomm also at times make concept devices to show their processors in action at shows
wonder if htc would pay nvidia for the driver
I wonder what the iPhone fanbois have to say when this **** really hits the fan.
Hmmm, what about the HTC Dream with Android installed using the Nvidia chip?
I think Android would be really nice and smooth on the APX 2500.

Nothing at all I would guess - people who are into the iphone are into usability not tech dickwaving.
I'm a WM6 user and very happy but let's be realistic, the majority of consumers don't give a **** about tech specs, they want usability, and the iphone beats wm6 hands down (and if you think it doesn't - look at how half the apps in the hacking forums are copies of features off the iphone).

That's great but the simple volume of such apps being created shows there is a demand for them.
(and with the 2nd gen iphone hitting the stands at $199...)
WM will always have more developers for it... Even if they're just copying iPhone apps, they do it better... And with processors like these, iPhones don't stand a chance... So long as marketing goes well...
the future.
it could be so wonderful!

Or, WM7 will be so bloated with rubbish it'll take this much power to make a call.

well i really appreciate apple,i even like it far more than microsoft...but in this field microsoft has far bigger useability,and there is much more fun in flashing,cooking,and trying out different ROM versions and apps than to have a phone(device) that is only a phone...some time ago i went mad about iphone,but it didnt last long i really got into xda-devs and ppcs and now if someone gave me an iphone and a ppc (eg artemis,cruise,not to say diamond) i'd choose the ppc

MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS 2008—BARCELONA, SPAIN—FEBRUARY 11, 2008—
NVIDIA Corporation, the world leader in visual computing technologies, today introduced NVIDIA® APX 2500, a breakthrough applications processor that enables intuitive 3D user interfaces and engaging high-definition video on connected Windows Mobile phones. The APX 2500 applications processor delivers an unprecedented 10 hours of 720p HD playback—an industry first for video quality and power consumption on a mobile device, as well as stunning HD camcorder and ultra-high-resolution photo imaging capabilities.
“This is the dawn of the second personal computer revolution,” said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO of NVIDIA. “Technologies are converging in amazing mobile devices that have all of the rich, visual capabilities of a modern PC—from watching movies and making video calls to surfing the web and playing 3D games. The APX 2500, combined with Microsoft® Windows Mobile, will make the next generation of smartphones our most personal computer.”
NVIDIA has worked closely with Microsoft on the development of APX 2500, marking a significant milestone in a long-term relationship that has seen the companies share a passion for making interaction with technology more visual and instinctive across multiple platforms. The combined engineering efforts of the two companies will ensure that next generation versions of the Windows Mobile operating system will harness the capabilities of the APX 2500 applications processor across challenging multimedia use cases.
“Microsoft is dedicated to providing people true mobile freedom, so that they only need to carry one device for both communication and entertainment,” said Todd Warren, corporate vice president of Microsoft’s mobile communication business. “We are delighted to work with NVIDIA to offer our users an amazing visual experience on the next-generation Windows Mobile phones.”
The NVIDIA APX 2500 applications processor, which is the culmination of 800 man years of engineering, delivers:
The industry’s first HD (720p) playback and capture capability for handheld devices
A new ultra-low-power (ULP) GeForce® core that is fully OpenGL ES 2.0 and Microsoft Direct3D® Mobile compliant and the lowest power 3D hardware solution available for acceleration of intuitive 3D user interfaces
NVIDIA nPower™ technology, enabling over 10 hours of high-definition video playback and up to 100 hours of audio—more than four times the audio playback of the latest touch-screen phones
The connectivity and media acceleration technologies required to enable the latest Web 2.0 applications, from effortless web browsing and social networking to GPS and mapping applications
The NVIDIA APX 2500 applications processor is sampling today with key customers and will enter into full production by the end of Q2 2008. For a live demonstration of the APX 2500 applications processor, please visit NVIDIA at Mobile World Congress 2008 in Barcelona, Hall 1, Booth # 1C34.

(taken from Wikipedia, sorry for the lenght!)
Thank you for your awesome work!
Llywelyn
Forget about it...
Thank you for the quick reply ! (or should I say dobriden? )
That's quite a deception, as I saw that the hardware was supported. Maybe an older version of WM should work?
It is not just about hardware SoC, it is about software - you need some bootloader (eboot, or as htc uses amss+spl), and many other stuff, which must be compatible with drivers for winmo and what not. Even porting WP7 to HD2 is easier IMHO .
Thank you for the reply,
We might have an access to the bootloader as we have root access to the partition!
Anyway, I'm ready to betatest any work someone could have done

i purchased cheap arnova 8 (first gen - resistive screen 800x600, rockchip 2818 @ 600 mhz i believe) just for playing some kids movies when i travel with little one
could someone tell me what format, codec, resoultion, bitrate etc. should i use to get best quality BUT SMOOTH video?
i can encode pretty much anything, but i have no idea if/what formats can take advantage of some decoding acceleration (if anything like that is possible on that device) and it is pain in the... to do that trial and error method
EDIT: another source claims that this chip is clocked at 600mhz, that is probably true as: "The Rockchip 2818 goes up to 640 MHz frequency."
freemake video converter - free, works perfectly, supports nvidia gpus - super fast encoding, and quality to size ratio is great on default settings
