** SHIELD TABLETS NOW AVAILABLE & BUNDLES FROM OcUK!! **

[Deleted member 70857]

How would Origin games work? And also standalone games that don't use either, for example I have the Command & Conquer Ultimate Edition which uses neither. Would I have to add them to my Steam library for Shield to be able to Game stream it?

Your the one not understanding the situation, I have an Galaxy S4 which has apps 2 sd

Why are you using a 3rd party app, and not the inbuilt Android functionality?

Unless Samsung have disabled it?

Also I've been watching a load of reviews and an hour Vodcast talking all about The Shield tablet.

They touch on Game Streaming which I know a fair bit about but then they also say a lot about Nvidia Grid but no details on it.

I know Grid is about cloud computing but how does it work with Shield?

Torn between one of these, an ipad mini retina or the 8.4 tab s.

If you're not already on the iOS ecosystem then this is a winner Android Tablet IMHO

I'm not referring to a 3rd party application, if I was I would have said so.

By the time the 32GB LTE version of this becomes available, the new iPads will have been released. Surely it would be better to compare then?

 

[Ayahuasca]

I don't need an LTE version.

I'm surprised this thread isn't more buzzing about this device. I suppose it will pick up in the next couple of months when this thing has rolled out.

I'm too busy playing games on mine, just waiting for the pads to become available and some third party cases.

Just back from Vegas with mines...quickly updated and had a quick run of Bioshock Infinite there and my God am I impressed

Love this thing, not only is it a superb tablet for general use, as a streaming device for games it is soooooo seamless Plus the added touch of media sharing and use through console mode on my TV and this is worth the admission fee alone!

Plus I am looking forward to playing full games like HL2/Portal/Trine 2 etc on a Plane or a long haul travel with no WiFi

Would probably use this as more of a media consumption device and the gaming just comes as a bonus.

Will have to wait till the cracking problem is sorted. By that time the new nexus will be out.

 

[Skeeter]

Cracking problem?

 

[jrodga2k5]

Cracking problem?

Apparently there is one...not that I've experienced

Still loving mines and using it just about every day, gets better by the update and performance is improving all the time.

Is there any official word on Lollypop other than "it's coming"?

Well it's coming should be enough surely

What do you use it for, if you don't mind me asking. Mainly for gaming on the big screen?

It was mentioned in this thread, but its been sorted now.
This will be getting lollipop very soon.

I'm considering this as the Nexus 9 price seems a bit tad high. How is the screen? I remember checking the Tegra Note 7 and that was awful, is the Shield much better?

And is it too early to ask if Nvidia has a Denver version of this coming soon ?
