NVIDIA: Android to become primary OS for tablets

Posted on Tuesday, June 01 2010 @ 5:35 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang believes Google's Android will become the primary operating system for tablet computers:

"Windows is too big and it's too full featured for smartbooks and tablets," Huang said, speaking with reporters in Taipei on Monday. Smartbook is a term used to describe low-cost laptops containing processors designed by Arm instead of x86 chips from Intel or Advanced Micro Devices.

"The good news is that we finally have an operating system to unite behind. Android is an operating system that has gained a tremendous amount of momentum all over the world," Huang said.
