Tegra 3 Kal-El SOC Scores 10 Major Brand Phones, Tablets

Nvidia's Tegra 3 SOC, code named Kal-El, will feature in devices from five major phone companies and five major PC manufacturers each.

Speaking at the Reuters Technology Summit in New York on Monday, Nvidia co-founder and chief executive Jen-Hsun Huang said that the Santa Clara, California-based chip manufacturer's next generation mobile processor had gained acceptance from major manufacturers for use in phones, tablets and low-powered laptops.

"It's got to be at least 10. We have five major phone companies and we have five major PC (manufacturers)," he said.

Huang also predicted that just as Android based smartphone sales caught up with and eventually outstripped Apple iPhone sales, Android Honeycomb based tablets would eventually sell more than Apple iPads.

"The Android phone took only two and a half years to achieve the momentum that we're talking about. I would expect the same thing on Honeycomb tablets," Huang said.

Earlier this month, Taiwan based Digitimes reported that Asus was planning to launch a Tegra 3 tablet.

More recently, it was reported that Amazon will launch a high end tablet code named Hollywood based on the Tegra 3 platform.

Nvidia first demonstrated its quad-core Tegra 3 at MWC 2011 on February 15, 2011, and announced that it would be available in the market by the second half of 2011.

The new CPU features a 5x performance boost over the dual-core Tegra 2.

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers Katy Perry continues working with the producers of GHD hair dryers and GHD hair care products: the singer once again demonstrated her luxurious hair in a fresh advertising campaign – this time she had the image of a diva from “the golden Hollywood” era (the pop-diva had already had the image of a hippie, a disco girl, and a mermaid). Luxurious dresses, bright makeup and a small portion of theatricality – one can immediately see that she is a star! The shooting was run by Ellen von Unwerth, who preferred to focus on restrained sensuality and the interplay of tones rather than on bright colors (the latter are always excessive with Katy) and presented black-and-white portraits of Perry to the public. The girl really looks perfect in the pictures : whether she is playing chess, recovering after a tiring concert or just getting ready to appear on stage. But whose merit is this: that of the photographer, the heroine, or maybe Photoshop?
