I haven't been keeping up with this but can it run android apps/games? With its hardware, I expect this to be very fast compared to new mobile phones/tablets, especially with the resolution only maxed out at 720p
It's weird that this isn't even released and already feels like one of the "weird" devices of gaming history. (Ngage, virtual boy, etc...)
Nvidia should have built this capability into a tablet and allowed the user to choose a controller if they wanted to stream/play certain games.

$299 price is a joke.
Somewhere around $150, then Nvidia and I can sit down and have a talk.
Why not wait until it's under $100? You know it's going to happen.
I just want to say that there are games outside of the supported beta that work, I think those are just the ones that have been though lots of testing.
When you stream, Steam Big pictures opens and you launch your games from there. You can launch Origin/other games by adding them to your Steam library. I've done that with BF3 and NFS personally.
I also did my Dark Souls SL1 run completely on Shield via Streaming. Made a post on /r/Darksouls where I answered a lot of general questions about Shield.
I do, obviously, work for NVIDIA. I'm not on the Shield team, marketing or social media but I lurk here all the time and figured I would throw in what I know about the product while there is some discussion.
The core gaming market is the 3DS market. The vita market is for the hardcore Sony fans. You seemed to mix the markets for the two handhelds.Ten years ago, this would have been a must-buy. Today, it can't compete. The core gaming market has the Vita, Nintendo fans have the 3DS, and everyone else who plays games now and then have their iThings.
Because by then, you're not gonna want one.
Pretty much. SMT 4 <3The core gaming market is the 3DS market. The vita market is for the hardcore Sony fans. You seemed to mix the markets for the two handhelds.
Never was told this. :/Not according to their site:
They only list 15 games on their site, most of which I've played or have no interest in. The Streaming PC Games feature is only in "Beta" at the launch of the device.
Supported games:
Bioshock Infinite
Borderlands 2
Dead Island: Riptide
Devil May Cry (DMC 5)
F1 2012
F1 Race Stars
Grand Theft Auto 4
Half-life 2
Metro: Last Light
Portal 2
Pressure
Resident Evil 6
Skyrim
Star Trek
Tomb Raider 2013
The GPU encodes on the fly so I don't think it matters.Does this work with full-screen games or does it need to run in a window like splashtop?
I'm on the fence, but I'm in the UK so I'll be able to get a feel for it long before it gets over here.

Nvidia has only invested about $10 million in to the project. They know it won't sell that well and don't really care, they're just testing the waters.

Boycotting the device just because they list DmC as DMC5.
