Very cool technology... however my concern also lies with the functionality of mobile phones to act as a game control and the screen size. However, I know there are a few phones out there that have a keyboard that can rotate 90 degrees ... so those will be able to function better as a handheld gaming device.

And of course... whenever you bring 3D graphics to a mobile device... you then have to worry about battery life. Did NVIDIA comment on battery life?

The phone will came with a battey pack you can strap to your back like a backpack to ensure your gaming will not be interrupted.

I honestly just want a phone that I can make calls on. I don't need it to do anything else. Guess I'm one of the few now.

Seeing how a full movie can fit on a 128MB flash card and the GoForce 5500 only uses 40mW on light 2D and ~170mW for heavy 3D even today's phones will last 4-6 hours when using software that needs rendering.

not even close.... I wan a very small, light weight phone that has good battery life and thats it. No cameras, no video, no PDA crap. If i wanted a PDA i would buy one, if i wanted a camera i would bring mine with me. All i want is a little phone that i can put in my pocket and not have to think about until it rings.
