A few people have asked me when we were going to announce the winners regarding the Zeemote giveaway we just had in partnership with DotEmu. We said we would announce who the winners are but then came to our senses as it was on a first come first serve basis.
Over the past 24 hours or so there have been plenty of rumors floating around about upcoming Tegra 3 quad-core tablets that could be heading our way.

Along with today’s announcement of Tegra 3, nVidia was generous enough to show everyone their new roadmap regarding chipsets for Android.

We’ve been hearing a lot over the past few months about nVidia’s quad-core chipset, originally codenamed Kal-El. Today nVidia is officially announcing this chipset which is officially called Tegra 3. If you’ve read our previous articles regarding anything related to this, you should be excited.
Rumor is going around about the just leaked HTC Edge Android phone which will apparently have a quad-core Tegra 3 chip stuffed inside of it.

Gameloft has announced that they will, indeed, be bringing over the Xperia Play optimized versions of their games over to the Android Market soon.

Qualcomm S4 is slated for release sometime in 2012 while nVidia’s Kal-El (Tegra 3) Chipset will start appearing in tablets within the next couple of month while phones will start appearing in Q1 2012.
