First Nvidia Tegra 3 Device May Launch November 9
Nvidia's Tegra 3 will make its debut in the Asus Eee Pad Transformer 2 on November 9th.
While we already know that Nvidia's Tegra 3 quad-core SoC (aka Kal-El) will arrive in the 10-inch Asus Eee Pad Transformer 2 (Prime) tablet, Asus CEO Jonney Shih said that both the tablet and the highly-anticipated superpowered-chip will arrive on November 9.
Nvidia's Tegra 3 was previously reported to arrive by the end of summer or early September, but the company delayed its release due to a need for an increased validation timeframe. "It took a little more time than we thought to get the software optimized for the hardware,” a Nvidia spokesperson told EE Times. "We are on schedule."
Recent reports claim that the Transformer 2's quad-core Tegra 3 chip will clock at 1.3 GHz per core. It will also feature either 16 GB ($499) or 32 GB ($599) of internal storage, depending on your wallet. Other features will include Google 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" as the gadget's OS, a microSD card slot for up to 32 GB of extra storage, a USB port, a mini-HDMI port, a 14.5-hour battery, a rear-facing camera with an LED flash -- all packed within a 8.3-mm frame.

These codenames that hardware is issued with.. they are semi official names aren't they.. I mean they are reffered to by the codenames in the company records and press releases yeah?
Do nVidea have the rights to USE the name Kal-el.. ip wise it's pretty much stitched up and it's not as if they can claim ordinary usage as with the Apple/Google "App" arguement.
I think nVidea should be issued with a cease and desist over this and told to stop trying to ride certain coat-tails into public awareness.
Also......
It's not 'A' 14.5 hr battery, it's a 6.5 hr battery for the tablet and the keyboard attachment comes with a further battery at 8 hrs which can either be used to charge the table, or when docked will deplete it's charge first then use the tablets.
I know it seems like semantics, but for me that was quite an important point.
