Google Inc (GOOG), Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) – NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA)’s Next Big Tablet Win: Itself?

But, as I noted last week, NVIDIA management told investors as of a few weeks ago that the Tegra 4i — which is the company’s first processor to be fully integrated with a 4G LTE modem — was still working through the certification process with a number of leading mobile carriers in the U.S. Unfortunately, that process likely won’t be finished until closer to the end of 2013.

Meanwhile, QUALCOMM, Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM) has been steadily increasing its Snapdragon marketing efforts to build consumer awareness and grow its brand through fun-to-watch TV spots like this one:

In the end, even though I’m a NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) shareholder myself, I have to admit NVIDIA could learn a thing or two from Qualcomm, considering they’ve never really aggressively marketed the Tegra brand directly to everyday consumers.

But, putting those marketing concerns aside, I still think if NVIDIA manages to build its Tegra TAB well enough, there’s no reason to believe consumers wouldn’t ultimately catch on over the long run.
