Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I finally got a new laptop with a lone USB 3.0 port. I'm now looking at getting a USB 3.0 hub with a power adapter so I can use both of my USB 3.0 hard drives at faster speeds. I've read lots of horror stories where some hubs either don't come with power adapters -- and as a consequence the portable drives don't work with them properly -- or they are designed poorly which results in USB 2.0 speeds. Or, the hard drives keep getting disconnected. Do your readers have any suggestions or experience using USB 3.0 hubs? Thanks!"
Hi everybody! My name's Andrew and I'm in charge of PR for the handheld group at NVIDIA. Thanks for all the great comments about our UI demo at 3GSM - I wanted to jump in though to clarify a few details as there are a few inaccuracies floating about.
To begin with, this is not an *actual* cell phone user interface (UI), ie: one that can be bought or found on a shipping device. It's a conceptual UI demo that we designed in house to show what kind of UIs are possible on a handheld device that is enabled with a GoForce 5500 GPU. Specifically, the GoForce 5500 makes it possible to run multiple graphics applications concurrently, and present them to the user in ways that are more intuitive and more akin to what we have become used to in other devices.
In tech terms, the demo runs in real time on an i.MX31 board running Linux, and equipped with an ARM 11, and a GoForce 5500. The program is operated live, either through a keyboard, or through a game controller hooked up via a USB port. The GoForce 5500 can handle screen resolutions up to XGA, which is what is being shown in this video with the system outputting to a large LCD panel for demonstration purposes, but can also run at VGA and QVGA resolutions.
Hope this answers a few questions - and again, thanks for the support all!
