Next-generation Audi MMI Touch dashboard with NVIDIA Tegra-power hands-on (video)
Posted in: feature, Features, hands-on, NVIDIA, tegra, tegra 2, Tegra2, Today's Chili, video
Wishing you could get a little closer to that next-generation Audi MMI Touch interface we saw yesterday, the one we’re expecting to debut on the A3? Well, you can’t — unless you’re at CES, anyway, in which case you can find it chilling out in the NVIDIA booth waiting for you to go play with it. We did, getting a feel for all the lovely things that Audi is doing with the power of its Tegra chipset. It has decidedly limited functionality at this point, but it’s certainly enough to give you an idea of what dashboards in 2012 are going to look like, which is way closer to Gran Turismo 5 than we’d have imagined, like a fly-around tire pressure display with a real-time 3D view of the car. Check out the video below and see for yourself.

ViewSonic ViewPad 4 hands-on (video)
Posted in: 1080p, Android, froyo, hands-on, qualcomm, Today's Chili, video, viewsonic
ViewSonic’s taking tablets to great new lows here at CES, calling its new 4.1-inch ViewPad 4 a “tablet device with smartphone functionality.” Whatever the description, though, this is a pretty handsome, angular Froyo handset with an 800 x 480 resolution, 5 megapixel camera that can record 1080p 720p video, a front-facing imager, 2GB of ROM, and either 512MB or 1GB of RAM. The spec sheet we found online says the former, but the chap at ViewSonic’s stand today told us the latter. Either way, we’re really liking the smoothness of the Android UI on this tabletphone, it was very pleasantly responsive. The most shocking thing about the ViewPad 4, however, might be its launch date, which we were told will be somewhere around mid-June. Froyo in mid-June … really? Get your video hands-on fix after the break.
Update: A second pass through the ViewSonic stand informed us that actually the ViewPad 4 is only capable of 720p video recording. Bogus, man.

Verizon holding event Tuesday in NYC — but for what?
Posted in: Apple, breaking news, BreakingNews, rumor, rumors, Today's Chili, verizon
Let the speculation commence: Verizon’s just sent out invites for a mysterious press event on Tuesday, hosted by Verizon Wireless President Lowell McAdam at New York’s Lincoln Center. That’s right — a huge event in New York after CES. Obviously the natural speculation is that this will be where the long-rumored CDMA iPhone makes its appearance, and it definitely feels that way — but we suppose it could also be any number of other things, and it’s definitely odd that Verizon’s in charge and not Apple. Either way, we’ll be there live to let you in on the scoop, so keep it locked right here.
