I remember when Nvidia was the only card to buy if you were going to do some 3D gaming. Now there are a few more graphic cards in the arena competing and perhaps beating them. Nvidia may yet become way ahead of the others by betting on the future with their new 3D graphics chip for handheld devices. "Nvidia Corp. updated its GoForce 3D chip on Monday, in preparation for the next round of 3G handsets to be shown off in Cannes.
Nvidia's GoForce 3D 4800 is a new iteration of the chip, although the offering's most touted feature is "FotoPack," a hardware compression technology that can triple the compression of a normal JPEG image, increasing the number of images that can be stored on a mobile phone.
Nvidia is eying the market for multimedia-enabled smartphones, which are riding the wireless backbone of 3G services to assimilate features normally found in wired devices. The recent trend to include small digital cameras in digital phones has benefited Nvidia, as has the interest in portable video and some 3D functions. "
