It even faced the challenge of being connected to a 60 inch plasma screen display graphics that would even make a PlayStation console jealous.

PlayStation Power on an iPhone like Device, branded Nvidia

The fact is that Nvidia’s new device powered by the APX 2500 chip managed to run a high definition H.264 720p version of Monsters Inc. on the above-mentioned plasma screen. Place this baby at the heart of an iPhone and we’ve got pure gold and a device that’s good enough to bury any out there. In case you’re interested, here are the specs of Nvidia handset: Windows Mobile OS and a 65nm chip composed of 4 parts.

Among those, there’s an ARM 11 running the show at 750MHZ, then comes an audio/video core coding and encoding H.264 files and an imaging core with support for cameras with a 12 megapixel resolution. Last but not least of the APX 2500 cores is an OpenGL ES 2.0/Direct3D Mobile 3D graphics core, which gets the whole “PlayStation 2 resolution” thing going. The interface suited these specs perfectly, taking the iPhone UI to the next level, thanks to Mac OS X-style widgets and a carousel interface.

Think we’ll see a handset powered by chip to one-up this beauty coming from TI and Qualcomm? I doubt it…

They’re got everything, from zooming to transparent overlays, even a Coverflow-style technology running at some point. Keep in mind that this is a big screen running the show, but the folks over at the MWC have claimed that images look THAT crisp on an actual cellphone too. Seems that Nvidia has been using a major thinking cap, by assembling this beauty in a few weeks, in order to have a handset to introduce at the MWC 2008 and promote its chip.

I guess it all comes down to what Nvidia’s Oscar Clark said “What this shows is the iPhone didn’t go far enough”. And here’s a genuine phone running the brand new interface with the aid of Nvidia’s chip:
