a promise made: next generation of Android-based tablets will be magical

ZDnet quotes Nvidia CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang , who justifies the months of delay in the need to plan something really competitive, to stand its ground in opposition to Apple's  iPad, and he makes the same mistake others have made before him, "a magical product". I don't mean to say that the man doesn't know what he is talking about. On the contrary, I'm sure the Android based tablets will be very impressive technological creations. But politically, you must never promise magic. The expectations that will be evolving upon such a declaration, especially when bearing in mind the very impressive product the android tablets are up against, are infinite. These tablets will now have to do really extraordinary stuff, on the leve of making coffee and finding a cure to cancer. And it is a pity, because when bearing in mind that Android does enjoy a broader potentional as an operating system than iPhone OS, the Android based Tablets had a hidden advantage. But now, with the magical anticipation, they will have to much much more than just technologicaly superior... shame, really.
