Nvidia CEO talks smack about Windows 7 on tablets; backs Android. Where's WP7?

WMExperts

This week has been somewhat exciting one if you’ve been following annual Computex show in Taipei.

For one, Asus demonstrated their Eee pad, which sadly won′t out till first quarter 2011. The&nbsp12-inch EP121&nbspfeatures&nbspIntel’s Core 2 Duo CULV processors, Windows Embedded Compact 7 UI (and Windows 7 too?), and supposed 10-hour battery life. The battery here is killer part if true as that’s where competition, along with ‘instant on′, is really gaining momentum. &nbspThe device is also powered Nvidia’s Tegra video processor, which leads us to…

Despite being featured on an unfinished Windows tablet, Nvidia President CEO Jen-Hsun Huang had no problem distancing himself such devices backing Android, stating

Windows is too big and it’s too full featured smartbooks and tablets

The good news that we finally have an operating system to unite behind. Android an operating system that has gained tremendous amount of momentum all over the world 

Zing. While most of us would agree with such an assessment, it’s bit rough when it comes from one of your featured partners. The issue here Microsoft’s intention to use Windows 7 and only Windows 7 on tablet devices, eschewing Windows Phone 7 type device which many seem want. In addition,&nbspGoogle’s Chrome OS finally launching fall, which should increase the competition even more with HP/Palm’s WEbOS tablet.

So everyone doing a mobile OS for tablets except Microsoft. This should end well.

Finally, Paul Thurrott recently explained he thinks iPad is consumption-but-not-contribution device, something we’ve been saying awhile our podcasts. This reason is similar what Microsoft told Engadget&nbspon why they want use a full-fledged OS instead a mobile one tablets. While that argument holds true installing desktop software, it doesn’t seem really address how consumers are actually using these devices these days.

We say let market decide. Microsoft, put out different tablets, one featuring Windows 7 and another featuring Windows Phone 7. No one will confuse them. Seriously, we think you’re betting on wrong horse here and Android, iPad, Chrome even HP/Palms’s WebOS going put hurt on you’re tablets Spring 2011.
