'Quark' iPhone-like device


Nvidia has demonstrated the Quark, a new smartphone resembling Apple's iPhone with its three-inch touch-screen interface and a single power/hold button. The phone is particularly focused on media playback with the ability to play music, display photos, and play videos in a graphically rich environment. A three-megapixel camera complements audio and 802.11b/g/i/e wireless capability. The Quark runs on Nvidia's recent GoForce 6100 chipset, combining CPU and GPU functions with the audio and wireless functions. Nvidia says the phone is unlikely to make it into production, but notes that the technology is already in third-party products.

    i/e

    What is 802.11i and 802.11e? Also, how is this a phone without a GSM/CDMA/etc radio? Is it a VoIP phone?

    To me, it looks like it's just an internet/media device. I see no mobile radios in the specs you list here, MacNN.

    Man, this place is literally falling apart. The news gets worse and worse, and just plugs yourself more and more (MacNN -> Electronista -> iPodNN -> LLN)

    Man

    Does every new phone that hits the market automatically come with an article comparing it to the iPhone?

    Glad I'm not the only one complaining about the stupid links...I think it's time to give up on MacNN for news.
