Nvidia Introduces Project Shield Android Gaming Handheld
Nvidia has introduced Project Shield, an Android-based gaming handheld. The system uses the company's new Tegra 4 processor and is housed within a controller with a flip-up screen, with its own integrated sound system and the complete array of controls you'd find on a traditional console controller. It features an HDMI port for video output, micro-USB for accessories and docks, and a microSD port for expandable storage. While the exact specs are still forthcoming, Project Shield has a 5-inch 720p HD display. The system, Nvidia says, is "pure Android," which gives it unhindered access to the standard Android interfaced, as well as apps and games from the Google Play store.
Using software built by Nvidia, the Shield provides remote access to the games on your gaming PC at home, including Steam titles. Users can play any PC game on the Shield from anywhere within the same local Wi-Fi network. Pricing has yet to be revealed, but Nvidia says Project Shield will ship in Q2 of this year.

Saw this and the Tegra 4. That Tegra 4 looks like a beast!

Looks like an Xbox 360 pad with a built-in 720p flip screen, i.e. brilliant!
If it streams PC games via Wi-Fi (as remote play) with the same incredibly low lag as the Wii U Gamepad does on Wii U (obviously!) then this interests me.
It'll be interesting to see the price though...
That said, I'm loathe to support Nvidia after their PhysX shenanigans.

Yeah, pricing is going to be key here. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

This will be all down to price, specs look amazing so one to watch.

Looks pretty cool. I have a 3DS and Vita already so I don't have much more time for modern handhelds but will be watching where this goes anyway.

Yeah saw this earlier looks amazing spec, full size controller with screen perfect!
Well I pre ordered the Ouya for my TV family gaming, this would fit my needs to upgrade my Xperia Play for handheld gaming and emulation!
Awesome cant wait for release date and price on this baby!

You know that internet-ubiquitous picture of Philip Fry with the caption "Shut up and take my money"?
Well don't worry, I'm not going to post it, because it's tacky.
Also I'm too lazy to google it.
