Nvidia has said it is working with Google to build support for Linux applications on smartphones with its upcoming Tegra mobile chips. The support for the Android platform is an attempt to drive up Tegra's adoption among smartphone makers. Nvidia is displaying an Android-based phone with a Tegra chip at the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

I looked at their site when the chip came up and, apart from being extremely disappointed that they were clearly supporting only Windows, it seemed to me that in genuine nVidia style the hard information (i.e. not just marketing related) was completely missing.
I don't know what have they against datasheets; most other silicon mongers publish them openly - notably, even their sworn enemy ATI. Maybe they have published them now, I haven't checked it, but with an nVidia graphics core inside, I doubt it.

here i did the hard work for you, click the "Specifications" tab
now if you REALLY want to know more, (and i can't say much myself at this point since it isn't made public) sign up here http://developer.nvidia.com/page/handheld.html
but if you wait, oh 3 days or so, you will get a ton more info through the main stream press releases.

this is the closest thing to a data sheet i am allowed to post http://www.nvidia.com/docs/IO/59296/NVIDIA_Tegra_FAQ_External060408...
but give it a few more days and you will have the same data sheets they gave us nice people who develop for WinCE

Though i don't think it will be any competition for Nvidia on the proformance level, but it will definently be competition on the OEM level since many many many of them have TI contracts and only a handfull have existing Nvidia contracts
