Best known for designing graphics chips and mobile processors, Nvidia set out on a bold new course last summer with the release of its Android-powered Shield portable console. It was the first time Nvidia was responsible for the entire device rather than just its components, and was the product of an evolving design process that saw significant changes between the January announcement and July launch. Now, a year later, the Shield’s successor is approaching with the title of Nvidia Shield Tablet. The Global Certification Forum (GCF) website has revealed the product name in a recent posting validating its wireless connectivity.
