Nvidia CIO, George Stelling, Says His BlackBerry is “Like Oxygen”

October 27, 2006 by Robb Dunewood 5 Comments

It looks like the George Stelling, the CIO of Nvidia, just might be a BlackBerry addict.

In a Forbes.com Executive Toy Box, Nvidia’s top tech guy says that his BlackBerry 8700 is “Like Oxygen”. “I need it. It’s with me everywhere, even at the gym.”

If George could make three changes to his BlackBerry he would add satellite radio, add the ability to download and play news clips and and videos, and finally add voice recognition software that would allow him to dictate email while in the car.

George may be a bit behind the times on the capabilities of his BlackBerry. Aside from satellite radio, the BlackBerry can do all the other things on George’s wishlist.

    uh what product allows you to dictate email in the car? i’ve seen products like dictomail that convert voicemail to email … but I don’t think that’s what he wants …

    (now that I think about it, i’ve seen mobile voice control … i haven’t really had good experiences with that, though. too annoying to use.)

    Ok Robb, that’s not “voice recognition software” as George requested … that’s a hardware solution, which is definitely not portable. If I’m driving a rental car on a business trip, can I bring that box? Probably not. And it is not currently available until 2007, according to the link.

    I think George was looking for a solution along the lines of the VoiceSignal Software on the Samsung A990 (I think that’s the model number on VZW) that lets you dictate text messages with your voice. That’s a great idea, especially if it worked over a Bluetooth headset.

    I’m going to go on a limb here and say the Blackberry Pearl (I believe publicly available on T-Mobile only at this point) can play music and video, but the other requirements are still to be developed.

    SONA Mobile actually has a media Player for 71XX and 870X BlackBerry devices, although, I don’t believe that they stream content.

    Point taken about iLane…

    What no video card for the BlackBerry? The 51v by DELL uses a nvida card it has 16MB of Video RAM. A video card would be sweet in a high res. BlackBerry.
