NVIDIA has revealed they are working on a new platform for Android
tablets called NVIDIA Kai, which is designed to deliver quad core
Android tablets for $199 or below.
NVIDIA is looking to offer
Android tablets that are more powerful than Amazon’s Kindle Fire tablet,
but for the same $199 price point, according to the companies CEO
Jen-Hsun Huang who said the following.
Our
strategy on Android is simply to enable quad-core tablets running
Android Ice Cream Sandwich to be developed and brought out to market at
the $199 price point, and the way we do that is a platform we’ve
developed called Kai. So this uses a lot of the secret sauce that’s
inside Tegra 3 to allow you to develop a tablet at a much lower cost, by
using a lot of innovation that we’ve developed to reduce the power
that’s used by the display and use lower cost components within the
tablet.
There are no details as yet on when we will see the
first quad core tablets prices at $199 in the stores, as soon as we get
some more information we will let you guys know.
