Is PhysX being used on mobile
When the doc http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/Manual/Physics.html mentions PhysX, does that also apply to mobile as well? PhysX is an NVIDIA technology, and many mobile phones are not using NVIDA chips, so I am wondering if that's desktop-only.

PhysX is software-only on all platforms, and the graphics chip is irrelevant concerning physics. PhysX isn't really nVidia technology, at least not originally; it was created by Ageia and only bought by nVidia relatively recently.
Wait ...

"PhysX taps in to the GPU for complex physical calculations..."
what's the latest on this? Does anyone know?
Unity does not use GPU for physics; they have their own port.
thanks! that applies on desktop too?
any change /w Unity 4 ?
