Nvidia may have been frantically chasing the dream of producing the ultimate gaming tablet when it designed and released its Shield tablet, but it seems like things have gone a little too far, even for the most hardcore mobile gamers out there. The Santa Clara, California, based technology giant has been forced to issue a recall on the entire Shield range due to the risk of a fire hazard that could potentially arise if the internal battery overheats. Not exactly the "extreme" performance that the company was looking for when the Shield gaming-tablet project was first conceived.
Nvidia is really taking up its Shield business up a notch as it announces the third iteration of the device, which put simply, is the world's first Android TV console to support 4K content. Head over the jump to catch all the details of the gadget.
Last year's announcement and subsequent release of the iPhone 5s brought quite a few surprises along with it. Sure, we suspected long before the September showcasing that it would include a fingerprint sensor, gold color configuration and several other such treats, but even though we anticipated the customary processor bump, the 64-bit architecture of the Apple A7 caught everybody off-guard. It was a first in the smartphone industry, and while we expect the iPhone 6 to follow suit sometime next month, it also won't be too long before Android L releases adopt 64-bit SoCs as standard.
If you’re looking for yet another way to enjoy your mobile Android games, NVIDIA has just announced a new portable console that is worth looking at. Project SHIELD is NVIDIA’s take on the portable gaming market: it features a full-sized gaming controller, the latest version of Android and PC connectivity.
We often rely on the experts in specific fields to divulge information unbeknown to the tech world, but sometimes, the direction of the tide is impossible to overlook, leaving said experts with no choice but to state the obvious. NVIDIA’s Mike Rayfield has done exactly that, commenting on how much closer mobile gaming is getting to the console experience.
