The platform features CPU's named Tegra paired with nVidia chipset and graphics technology. Tegra is a system-on-a-chip featuring an ARM 11 core and nVidia's graphics technologies permitting 1080p HiDef television decode and OpenGL ES 2.0 3D graphics. Engadget's page has more details, such as the low expected price ($199-249), huge battery life (up to 130 hours audio/30 hours HD video) and enough graphics power to render Quake3 anti-aliased at 40FPS."

Congratulations, you are the first apple fanboy who tries to steal the thread with your MacRumors about the iPhone.

The article is about a new processor for mobile devices. Asking if it supports ogg is like asking if your ethernet cable supports MP3.

How can I tell if it supports mp3? I looked at the printing on the side of the cable and didn't see anything about mp3? Does that mean I can't download mp3s with this cable? Where can I get an mp3 ethernet cable?

(Sorry, been spending too much time over at AVS Forum, where questions like this are asked daily and in all earnestness.)

Quake 3

May it run Doom instead?

Also, proper Quake 3 requires 125fps

Nevermind Quake3, This sounds like it could run World of Warcraft(a special Arm version, of course). Combine this with an EVDO card and I'm set!!

I can sell you an isotopically pure copper Ethernet cable which I have personally tested for warm sound when streaming MP3s.

Normal price, $100 per foot. But I have a 50% discount for AVS Forum posters. And special this month I'll throw in an ethernet cable impedance tester to tell you when you need to replace your cables due to oxidation.

That's alright, I stocked up on blue LEDs the other day, I'm guaranteed over 9000 FPS.
