Nvidia’s CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, as well as the president of Nvidia visited Dubai recently, to present a speech at the American University in Dubai (AUD). In the media interaction that followed after the speech Huang discussed about his company and its products, Huang carried along with him a mysterious tablet. All through the interaction this tablet computer was sited on the table right in front of him. This novel gizmo appeared to have no label or brand name over it. It just had a high resolution Pixar-animated full screen video being played on the display. The tablet seemed to be very sleek having a multi-touch glass screen with black bezel and a Chrome rim. Interestingly, the device had a single button on the front illuminated with a red glow and possibly a Webcam on the top with dual microphones.

Also, during his interaction with the media representatives Huang talked about his support and love for Apple products. Huang said that in his home they’re “all Apple.” According to him “Apple uses the best technology for their [computers]. Apple says to their customers: if you buy a computer from us you can be sure we have selected the best technology inside for you. That is their promise to consumers. Their promise to consumers isn’t we’ve selected the best technology for you with the exception of what Intel allows us to use. That’s not their promise. And that’s why Apple uses the best technology where they want whenever they want. And that’s why I’m all Apple! At home it’s just Macs everywhere. It’s NVIDIA’s technology in all of them but I use Macs. My son has two Macs, my daughter has a Mac, there’s an extra Mac just in case and my wife has a Mac. It’s just Mac, Mac, Mac! Because I know it’s got the best stuff inside.”  He further stated that in contrast to Intel, Apple believes in differentiation rather than standardization and thus adds value.

A mysterious tablet with Apple IPhone like features (black design and 1 centre key for instance) coupled with Huang’s over zealous attitude towards Apple have given rise to many speculations about it being the upcoming Apple Tablet. With comments none at all by the CEO, the questions remains unanswered and the mystery continues for all.
