Click here for all our CES 2012 coverage!
Over the last year, NVIDIA became a major player in the field of mobile SoCs with its dual-core Tegra 2 processor. Actually, coming out of nowhere, NVIDIA managed to call itself the manufacturer of the first ever dual-core processor in a phone. Not only that, but the company also produced the first mobile quad-core processor to launch commercially - the Tegra 3 in the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime. It is because of these achievements that we believe NVIDIA can now be called a major force on the mobile market. What are these guys going to announce here at CES 2012? We'll find out soon enough!

| 18:45 | Today, NVIDIA announces a new technology - DirectTouch. |
| 18:43 | twitpic.com/85ff05 |
| 18:42 | Huang: "Another amazing device from ASUS, this time for $249." |
| 18:42 | They have not announced the name of the tablet yet. Strange announcement, we tell you. |
| 18:41 | It seems it will be priced very aggressively - $249. |
| 18:41 | They're now announcing a new tablet - 7" ASUS tablet with Tegra 3 and ICS. |
| 18:40 | twitpic.com/85fdww |
| 18:39 | ... which is a 2-year old market. Indeed, there are so many areas to be explored in this still very young field. |
| 18:38 | Huang argues that they've been doing innovation in the PC industry for the last 25 years, so imagine what's in store for us with tablets |
| 18:37 | Jerry Shen, CEO of Asus is on stage. This guy is the brain behind the Transformer's idea. |
| 18:36 | twitpic.com/85fcgf |
| 18:36 | "Today we're delighted to announce" ... "Tegra 3, Transformer Primer, Ice Cream Sandwich will be available today". Cool. |
| 18:35 | NVIDIA CEO is now giving credit to ASUS's Transformer Prime - he seems fascinated by the tablet. |
| 18:34 | He's even using a dedicated game-controller. Amazing, the game seems to run very responsively! |
| 18:33 | Now, let's see if if these guys will be able to play Skyrim over the cloud using Splashtop... Geez, they actually run Skyrim on the Prime... |
| 18:32 | twitpic.com/85fb0t |
| 18:32 | Now, Huang is going to try and launch Skyrim on Android via the above-mentioned remote-control app. A professional gamer is on stage to help |
| 18:28 | twitpic.com/85f9as |
| 18:28 | He's now exploring another cool app, Splashtop, allowing you to remote-control your PC from your Android tablet. Looks pretty good. |
| 18:23 | twitpic.com/85f7fb |
| 18:23 | Looks like we're in for some ShadowGun multiplayer! Wohooo.... |
| 18:22 | Yey, he'll now talk about first-person shooters on tablets. |
| 18:21 | twitpic.com/85f6ma |
| 18:19 | NVIDIA's CEO is now doing a quick recap of the NVIDIA Tegra Zone - you know, the special game store available on Tegra-powered devices. |
| 18:16 | Apparently Snapseed devs have worked closely with NVIDIA in order to achieve better GPU optimization for the app. |
| 18:15 | twitpic.com/85f4hw |
| 18:15 | twitpic.com/85f4cq |
| 18:14 | He's now chatting with a partner about a popular Android app - Snapseed. |
| 18:11 | He's enjoying the locked 60 fps of the ICS interface, delivering an incredibly smooth UI... "smooth as the baby's bottom", as he puts it... |
| 18:10 | He's now teasing us with the Transformer Prime running ICS. |
| 18:09 | It's not going to be just Android phones and Android tablets, it's going to be one great Android install base. |
| 18:08 | "Honeycomb was related to Android, but not the same as Android". And now, we should all be happy because of ICS - the OS to rule them all! |
| 18:08 | Huang says that by introducing the Android tablet last year, they've effectively fragmented the Android ecosystem. |
| 18:07 | twitpic.com/85f1fr |
| 18:07 | He's now introducing the audience to his automobile experience. He's driving a "red car". :D |
| 18:04 | He's talking about tablets now - calls them the fastest growing consumer devices. |
| 18:03 | Aaaand NVIDIA CEO Huang is now on stage! |
| 18:02 | Hey guys, Ray S. here doing this liveblog for you. |
