The current-gen Tegra is already capable of 1080p HD video; Hara says NVIDIA's goal is the desktop internet and media experience in a portable device:"</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1261080846.usr103750.jpg" style="border: 0;" /></em></p><p>The first Tegra chip is mouth watering enough, but imagine a chip that can handle <em>twice </em>what the current Tegra does. That is just what Nvidia's Tegra 2 is rumored to do. They are set to release more details at <a href="http://www.cesweb.org/" target="_blank">CES</a> 2010, including some demo products from their partners. The first half of next year will bring us tablet PCs, smartbooks, netbooks, and MIDs all powered by Tegra 2. Later down the line will we see a second generation Zune HD based off of the new chip? Or a Windows phone? Only time will tell on that one.</p>
