NVIDIA Shield tablet pic leaks, looks like a Tegra Note 2

What new Android hardware will NVIDIA deliver this year? So far we’ve been talking about two devices this summer, a new Shield handheld console – basically an Android phone (sans cellular radio) with integrated gaming controller – as well as a Shield tablet.

NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 tablet gaining LTE option, still sounds like a tough sell

2013 was the year when NVIDIA’s efforts to remain relevant in the always-changing smartphone and tablet industry hit a brick wall: OEM interest in the Tegra 4 seemed practically nonexistent, and it wasn’t until NVIDIA started designing hardware of its own (incorporating its SoCs, naturally), that many consumers even saw Tegra 4-running devices become available.
