Tweet

Verizon Wireless is the latest name to try their chances in the tablet PC market as the company has officially unveiled today that they’ve been working with the folks from NVIDIA to come up with a touchscreen tablet device that would boast 4G Wireless support and would be capable of full 1080p HD video rendering thanks to NVIDIA’s Tegra platform.

A first model of the Tegra-powered Ultra tablet has already been put together and demonstrated with a Motorola 4G wireless modem on Big Red’s pre-commercial LTE network, to show that other than high speed Internet it delivers “what consumers demand — bandwidth for a full HD web experience”. All on-the-go!

“We know consumers want full internet access and we are pleased to be working with NVIDIA in our LTE Innovation Center on a solution that can process full HD content with the battery life of a smartphone,” said Brian Higgins, Executive Director, LTE Ecosystem Development at Verizon Wireless.

No word regarding price or specific availability, but let’s hope we’ll get one to play with as soon as possible.
