NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang has confirmed to CNET that a followup to the Surface RT is in development, and that it will apparently continue to use NVIDIA hardware inside. Recently news concerning the ARM-powered version of Microsoft’s tablet hasn’t been good, with a $900 million inventory charge and price cuts for both the RT and Pro . According to Jen-Hsun Huang, the addition of an Outlook mail app in Windows 8.1 can be the killer app the platform has been missing, and the company hopes it will be a big success. Rumors for the next gen of Surface have hinted at Microsoft offering Qualcomm chips in some models as well a smaller 7-inch version . NVIDIA may have some Tegra 4-specific features to contribute on the latter, we’ll see if its can take a bigger bite out of the tablet market on their second attempt.
