Firsthand Impressions of Now-Delayed NVIDIA SHIELD

[wraggster]

NVIDIA's Android-based gaming gaming handheld called SHIELD was to start shipping today to customers who had pre-ordered it. Reader MojoKid writes"Unfortunately, in its last round of QA work, NVIDIA uncovered a problem with a third-party component used in SHIELD and will be pushing the launch date out into July. NVIDIA is, however, allowing some members of the press to talk a bit about their experiences with a couple of Tegra 4-optimized games (http://hothardware.com/News/NVIDIA-SHIELD-FirstHand-Impression-Unfortunately-Shipments-Delayed/) — namely Real Boxing and Blood Sword: Sword of Ruin — and also about an AR Drone controlled by SHIELD with a bird's eye view. The AR Drone streams video from its on-board HD camera to the SHIELD (http://hothardware.com/News/NVIDIA-SHIELD-FirstHand-Impression-Unfortunately-Shipments-Delayed/) device as you fly. Just launching the thing high into the air and peering into trees or over the houses in the neighborhood is really cool.
