NVIDIA CEO seen with an interesting tablet, but not Apple’s

Jen-Hsun Huang was talking to journalists in Dubai when this photo was shot. During the conversation, he was praising Apple for building unique products and for selecting the “best technology” (including Nvidia’s of course) for their products. Jen-Hsun Huang reportedly said that he only uses Macs at home.

Back to the tablet: as you can see, it is a slick looking tablet and you can bet that it is powered by Tegra, NVIDIA’s handheld system on a chip (SoC), also used in the Zune HD. Some have been quick to link the CEO’s praise for Apple’s products to the idea that this could be an Apple tablet – but they are wrong. In my opinion, this is not an Apple product. I would be absolutely *shocked* if this was an unannounced Apple product being shown to journalists by NVIDIA. It is most likely a product built by another company, or is a reference design.
