Looks to ship in the second quarter of 2013
Here's why we love CES! NVIDIA has just shown off what they are calling Project Shield -- a dedicated Tegra 4 powered game center and more. It's a 7-inch clamshell device, running atop pure vanilla Android that sends you into a spin of Tegra game goodness at the push of a button.
Packing a 720p multi touch display, and enough battery power to play up to 10 solid hours of games or 24 hours of HD video, Project Shield is all wrapped up into something we just haven't seen before. Full connectivity via standard ports -- like HDMI and USB, and a unique design to deliver great sound makes this one something to want. Being able to use it as a controller and connect to your TV drives it to the top of that want list.
Maybe even better, you can use the shield (as they are calling it now) to stream games from your computer with a GeForce card, through the shield (there's even Steam support, hello Linux lovers!) and out to a TV. This gets better and better as it goes along. If priced right, this will give conventional gaming systems a serious run for the money.
Stay tuned to AC, because you know we're going to have to play with this one a bit! Hit the break to see a handful of awesome pics and the press release.
