Well it’s hard to say anything is an iPhone killer until the product is announced for production. Right now, the Quark is only a concept phone. However, Nvidia made it clear that their GoForce 6100 chip, which is a combination of a GPU and CPU is just the tip of the iceberg as to the kind of devices ...

You’ve been overwhelmed with videos of the iPhone from Macworld as well as a few of its competitors: Nokia E90, LG Prada, and the Neonode N2. I think the Samsung Ultra Smart F520 and F700 are worth a gander. Keep in mind there are a few others from 3GSM that I’ll present later on as the videos ...
