The most powerful device at MWC - Nvidia APX 2500

There’s been a trend for the manufacturers of high-end phones to prove the power of their tech by connecting them to LCD and plasma screens via TV-out. It’s hard to know who exactly would want to do this, although there is an argument that mobile devices could be used this way in developing countries as a sort of PC replacement.
Still we had to take our metaphorical hat off to Nvidia which ran a high defintion H.264 720p stream of Monsters Inc onto a 60 inch plasma screen direct from its APX 2500 development hardware.
Of course, this is a bit of a trick in the sense that the APX 2500 isn’t a phone, although its innards could be powering phones by the end of 2008 if Nvidia gets its way.
It being marketed as an ultra high-end platform - “the heart and brains of the competition to the next iPhone” was the way Nvidia explained it to us.
