Glu signs strategic partnership with Nvidia over Android tablets and super phones

With 22 games already released on Android, reborn freemium publisher Glu Mobile is also setting itself for the new wave of Android-powered tablets.

At CES 2011, it's just announced a strategic partnership with chip company Nvidia.

The two will be working together in the development of games showcasing Android and Nvidia's Tegra 2 mobile chip, which will be found in many of the forthcoming tablets and highend smartphones - a category Nvidia describes, without irony, as 'super phones'.

Written in stone

"Our vision of bringing high performance social gaming experiences to consumers on tablets is only possible with key partnerships like the ones we're announcing today," said Niccolo de Masi, Glu's CEO.

"With the rapid growth of tablet usage, we look forward to delivering compelling social mobile games that utilise the cutting-edge technology in these devices."
