ATI vs Nvidia
I hope this is good for the compition and strengthens the product.

ATI vs. NVidia
So it seems that their battle for supremecy has spilled into the PDA market... like two dinosaurs sparring over a small nest of dino eggs. Careful where you step there, boys.
So if their history is any indication of things to come, we should expect to see new PDA-rated graphic chips available, what... every 3 months or so?
So do you think they'll be bringing pressure to bear on PDA manufacturers to provide a way to make these things user swappable? You know... so they don't have to wait for the next generation of PDA to prove who's the best.

RE: ATI vs. NVidia
Not a chance. This works when you have a standardized open platform like a PC (with PCI), but not in this world. Price points in this market make it more feasible for generational enhancements based on available technologies. Do you change the video adapter in your laptop? I would guess not [:-)]

Aside from the obvious sarcasm, perhaps you should check out alienware's website. Granted they are pioneers in this regard, but follow the link below and read the paragraph called "Graphics Performance".

Very tense right now
The only key concern that I would like to address is that every Handheld Manufacturer, no matter what Handheld Operating System, no matter what Manufacturer, to provide freedom of choice when it comes to Handheld Video Chips. Period. Should for any reason a Handheld Manufacturer restrict the video chips to one particular "thing", it would cripple loyalty, and also contribute to customers going to other vendors for handhelds with choice.
So please handheld manufacturers, let us choose whether we want either ATI or NVidia inside our handhelds. Thank you.

Two years too late
Engineer, "We need to do a low power graphic chip for handhelds."
Product Manager, "I don't see a market."
Engineer, "It will come."
Product Manager, "I'm not green lighting a while elephant."
about two years pass and TapWave is launched.
Product Manager, "We need a lower powered graphic chip!"
Engineer, "We spec'ed it out two years ago and you sat on it!!"
CEO, "Product manager, you are so fired but not being agressive."
Prodcut Manager, "I was just doing my job."
CEO, "That is why you are fired."
And what I want to know is who's design did nVidia buy to make this happen so fast after TapWave went public with their busines plan.
Streatch Marks, Ajustment to Reality and Middle Managers; the three problems one has to growth.

RE: Two years too late
There are many professionals with safe degrees from safe schools that refuse to get into any company with a revenue stream less than $100 million a year. This types want the performance graphs to be smooth and steady. They have very little forethough on the next product paradigm. Thus, they only get their incrimental promotions, pay their mortgage and put together the kids college funds ... and are forgotten about for only doing what they are told.
Frankly, I see nVidia moving into this space as a comedy of errors. Should be humorious to say the least seeing yet another PC-centric company move into the handheld market thinking they don't have to change.
