nVidia Mobile Graphic Interface - Video Demonstration

After releasing its graphic multimedia processors, nVidia has made has all a favor and has also put up a little show to demonstrate how will the interfaces of the cellphones featuring an nVidia chipset will look like.

When you talk about revolutionary user interfaces, you should forget that Apple has ever released the iPhone, with its out of this world UI, and focus on what the nVidia chipsets will be able to achieve in the next few months for all of us.

The GUI presented in the attached video already looks amazingly cool and I have to remind you that a very short time has passed since the official announcement of nVidia's mobile graphic processors. Who knows what will the software developers be able to do with so much graphic power in their hands?

Just imagine what will happen if some nVidia powered smartphones will arrive on the mobile market ahead of the official iPhone release. If the interfaces available on those handsets will resemble or even surpass the complexity and the smooth operation the one nVidia has demonstrated in this video, I seriously doubt that anyone will still want to get something with such an outdated interface as the iPhone one.

I won't say Apple hasn't done a great job because they actually did and I congratulate them for that but delaying their handset's launch may prove to be the thing that doomed it. Of course there will be enough Apple fan boys and girls out there ready to pay the money and test the Apple "revolutionary communication device" but if you give it a serious thought, you will also realize that, in the end, there aren't so many of them to sustain Apple's product indefinitely.

Returning to the subject of this article, namely the nVidia UI, one thing is for sure: we're witnessing a revolution similar to the one Microsoft has begun on the PC desktops some years ago with its Windows 95 OS. It surely was a clumsy approach but it was a beginning and the end result is what counts now. While using our personal computers we all enjoy eye candy graphics, fun windows animations and a whole lot of other special effects we have grown used to and don't even notice anymore.

How much will the cellphones' interfaces evolve nobody knows yet but I think the first step towards a more natural way of interacting with our mobile phones has already been made by nVidia. So sit back, grab your bowl of pop-corn, enjoy the show and, after the video will end, tell me this thing s*cks! If you dare! :)
