NVIDIA has today issued a press release showing off the fact that their all new “ultra-lower-power HD” Tegra processor will provide the muscle in Microsoft’s forthcoming Zune HD.

Below is a list of reasons why NVIDIA thinks the Tegra will help the Zune HD reign supreme:

• an HD video processor dedicated to HD video, providing unprecedented picture quality and ultra-smooth, vivid movie playback with low power consumption
• an ultra-low power graphics processor for a compelling and intuitive user interface
• NVIDIA nPower™ technology, which optimizes system power use and enables extended HD video and MP3 playback time

Will HD quality help the Zune HD oust Apple’s iPod touch? We’ll have to wait until the device’s September 15th release date to find out.

Samsung is working on a hot new smartphone which will pack inside NVIDIA’s Tegra chip. The company hasn’t revealed very much about the new phone but considering the power behind the Tegra chip we should definitely be excited. Features like AMOLED touchscreen and TouchWiz widgets are surely going to be present. We have no idea if the Tegra-based smartphone will be a Windows Mobile or Android phone but we’re anxious to find out. Remember that rumor that said a NVIDIA Tegra phone is coming before the end of the year? Well as we suspected it’s going to be a Samsung phone!

NVIDIA’s Tegra processor is a fine solution to consider when creating a new smartphone. According to recent rumors one of the top five cell phone manufacturers is going to launch such a smartphone by the end of the year. The rumor is going even further to suggest that AT&T and T-Mobile will pick the phone up and sell it for around $199. So who do you suppose is making the phone? Samsung maybe? Is Motorola going to impress us with a new smartphone? Is it going to be an Android or Windows Mobile device? Any guesses?

According to some recent rumor Microsoft will apparently be launching the new Zune player on September 8. The Zune HD will come in two versions, 16GB and 32GB and it will pack a powerful Tegra processor and an OLED screen. We knew the Tegra chipset bit and we were expecting the Zune HD to arrive in two versions. The OLED screen is pretty much logical too so now we only need pricing. Are the new Zune HD models be more expensive or cheaper than the current iPod touch? Anyone getting a Zune HD this fall?

We’re still recovering from that earlier Zune phone news and now we have to deal with another Microsoft project, the Pink, which, from the looks of it, it’s a smartphone. Now the Pink has some features available. The phone will have a 3.5-inch or even larger multitouch display, an ARM v6+ processor, OpenGL ES 2.0-compatible graphics, 256MB of RAM and 1GB or more of storage. We can also expect a 3 megapixel camera, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, a compass and an accelerometer. Think we’re done yet? We have even more leaked details for you! NVIDIA’s Tegra platform is also going to be part of the Pink project. TI’s OMAP 3 platform and Qualcomm 8k are also listed. Will Microsoft use all three of them?

That’s how Windows 7 Chasis 1 smartphones will look like but we can’t say for certain how will Microsoft bundle all those specs. According to previous rumors the Pink is not a phone but a project meant to bring Zune software and services to Windows Mobile. Should we assume that Windows Mobile 7 will come with lots of Pink features inside? Let’s hear it Mr. Ballmer? What will it be?

It looks like HTC will use NVIDIA’s Tegra application processor in some of its upcoming products. HTC might not be the only cell phone manufacturer to get it as Doug Freedman at the American Technology Research says that Tegra will bring NVIDIA about $100M for the first half of the year. That means that NVIDIA will sell millions of units of that Tegra processor. So what phones will use it? What should we expect from those NVIDIA HTC phones in terms of graphics? Better games? Better video?
