Tablets seem to be the hot topic these days. Earlier today Apple notified the world that they had sold two million iPads, and while other companies are probably itching to do the same thing, most are far away from that lofty goal. But, it looks like there's one guy who thinks if anyone can do it, it will be done with Android. Today at Computex - an annual technology trade show held in Taipei, Taiwan - Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO of Nvidia, gave some major props to Android as a highly capable operating system for tablet computers. According to Huang, "The good news is that we finally have an operating system to unite behind. Android is an operating system that has gained a tremendous amount of momentum all over the world."
Huang also said that "Android has become the fastest growing mobile operating system in the world and, in fact, it has surpassed the iPhone in terms of growth and in terms of users." Clearly, Huang is a proponent of the OS, however, he also acknowledges that there is still work to be done if Android is to combat Apple's iPad. Specifically, Huang suggested that graphics performance is an area that needs to be addressed before Android will have a real shot at winning the tablet war. Though the young operating system is not yet fully matured (for a tablet device to compete with the iPad), Huang seems to have faith in Andy Rubin and the folks over at Google, suggesting that they "know exactly where the industry needs to go." Where do you think Android needs to go?
