There may be some folks out there talking up Android as the OS of choice of smartbooks , but it looks like you can’t count NVIDIA among them. Speaking with ComputerWorld , NVIDIA’s Mike Rayfield (general manager of the company’s mobile business unit) says that NVIDIA actually prefers Windows CE over Android for ARM-based smartbooks due to its maturity and lack of a “rough user interface.” To that end, Rayfield also confirmed that NVIDIA is working with Microsoft to optimize Windows CE for Tegra-based systems although, as we’ve seen , that hasn’t stopped some folks from pairing Android with Tegra whether NVIDIA likes it or not. Incidentally, Rayfield was also asked about those rumors about Tegra powering the Zune HD , and he didn’t exactly issue a flat out denial, saying simply that, “Microsoft hasn’t confirmed that … so until they comment, I can’t.” Filed under: Handhelds , Laptops NVIDIA says Windows CE is better for smartbooks than Android originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 18 Jun 2009 16:41:00 EST.
