Both Wave One and Wave Two Windows Phone devices are usinmg Qualcomm's chipsets -- as the Microsoft minimum hardware requirements for the platform themselves require them. This makes Windows Phone and Windows Phone Mango a Qualcomm only platform. In 2013 though -- the time Windows Phone Tango, Apollo or even Windows 8 could land -- phones powered by Redmond's platform could very well be operated by Tegra chipsets, according to the roadmap above. nVidia's SOCs have been powering Android smartphones for quite a while now -- aside from the tablets they operate too -- but it looks like after Kal El+, the chipset maker is planning to offer both Android and Windows/Windows Phone support. It will be interesting to see if the phones will be Tegra-only -- like they're Qualcomm-only now -- or will the user be able to choose from a wide range of phones, powered by Tegras, Snapdragons and why not, TI OMAPs?
