Mobile Graphics

31Jul09

I can’t wait to see new generations of mobile graphics. It has been said that the quality of images and video on your mobile phone is set to get a lot better.

In the past year, graphics card giants ATI and Nvidia have been working on new handset chips, the Imageon and GoForce respectively. Graphical capability of mobile phone is set to compare desktop PCs sooner or later. ATI’s Imageon 2300 has had 3D graphics capability since January, Nvidia recently demonstrated technology that can run full 3D graphics and streaming video at three megapixels.

At the same time GoForce 3D 4500 chip represents an improvement in clarity on the smaller screen, which can now show movie clips with subtitles that are legible, increasing resolutions from 1.3 megapixels to three megapixels.

If the various mobile phone networks are not convinced there is a market, they simply will not invest in it. Learning lessons from the painfully slow take up of 3G products might make the networks cautious. But once people see the potential of these massively improved visuals it seems unlikely they will let it pass by.
