NVIDIA CEO suggests $199 Tegra 3 tablets in the summer

[![][1] ][2]Always talkative NVIDIA CEO [Jen-Hsun Huang][3] is in the news yet again, this time telling the _New York Times_ that his company's [Tegra 3][4] hardware is incorporating enough cost saving that it could be in $199 Android tablets by this summer. Beyond the tantalizing thought of value-priced tablets with the horsepower of the Transformer Prime (perfect for that [rumored][5] price subsidized, ASUS-built and Google-branded slate, right?) there's also a shout out Tegra-powered Windows 8 slates and Sony's unannounced VAIO Cromebook that [popped through the FCC][6]. The _NYT_ suggests its T25 chip could stand for Tegra 2.5 with a debut planned for Google I/O in June -- we'll find out then if this is misguided line drawing or a very educated guess.
