Every once in a long while us nerds get some kind of redemption with the mainstream markets.  Tonight was supposed to be one of those nights.  After seeing about 500 tweets from NVIDIA employees about a “mystery Tegra device” being shown on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, I decided I would pay attention and see what was up.

Well, the device we saw was the NVIDIA Tegra tablet that was making the rounds last month:

Here you can see Jimmy holding the device – all that was really mentioned about it was that it was an Android-based device that was obviously used a touch screen and had at least WiFi on-board.  It looks like it could be a 7-in or so screen.  Other than that, it was on-screen for all of about 30 seconds.

The only bad part: Engadget’s Josh Topolsky didn’t make the nerd community look any better by claiming he was going to go back stage and make love to a Dell Adamo.  Oh well, there’s always the next show!
