A lot of people have had their eyes on Mad Catz who have promised to build the most powerful Android-based console that would be available when it launches.

Nvidia unveils their Tegra Note reference device, letting OEMs offer Tegra 4 for as little as $200
Nvidia today finally unveiled their Tegra Note which is a reference device that shows off their Tegra 4 platform. What this does is allow manufacturers to offer the Tegra 4 platform to create 7″ tablets for as little as $200. Basically this means manufacturers can use this tablet as a starting point, enabling them to quickly bring their own branded 7″ tablet to market much more quickly by using this one as the base model.
If you follow the news about upcoming or rumored Android devices then you are probably already aware that Nvidia is rumored to be making their own Android tablets. The tablets, which are apparently named Tegra Tab, are also rumored to have both a 7″ version as well as a 10″ size. Well it seems as though one of the rumored tablets isn’t that much of a rumor anymore as it appears to have been benchmarked.

Yesterday we brought you news of two games that were potentially being released today to coincide with the official launch of Nvidia’s Shield handheld gaming device. Sure enough both games have been released and the first one we are going to talk about is Blood Sword: Sword of Ruin THD.
With Shield’s launch arriving tomorrow, there are plenty of titles already optimized for the device. However it looks like two more games will be making an appearance either at some point today or tomorrow. One of these games was actually shown off briefly during CES 2013 when Nvidia was showing off Shield for the first time.
Nvidia’s Tegra 4 Android-powered handheld gaming device Shield will be officially launching tomorrow. For those of you who pre-ordered one of these, shipping of your orders will also begin tomorrow which means you should have your hands on your new Shield in a matter of days.
