 We've seen hints of the Nvidia APX 2500 prototype and user interface before, but this is our first time playing with the device and UI, and we were absolutely stunned by its polished, smooth look. Nvidia has created a truly gorgeous phone mock-up, and we we're shocked that nobody has released this as a retail device. The menus and lists flow as smoothly as they do on the iPhone, and the Nvidia even tops Apple's device with more graphical effects and dazzling app ideas than the latter phone possesses. Nvidia calls this a prototype, but also told us that the phone is just about ready for prime time. So, theoretically a manufacturer could simply buy the platform and pop it into a device for an instant iPhone killer. We're looking at you, Motorola. Release: January 2008.
Pros: Brilliant interface, among the best we've seen for a mobile phone. Smooth animation, great colors, sparkling effects.
Cons: Nobody is building this into a phone . . . yet.
