Nexus 7 killer?
The newest entries in the Nvidia Shield family, the Shield tablet and the Shield wireless controller, have joined the Shield portable as part of Nvidia’s homegrown line-up of gaming-focused Android-based devices.

The Shield also has 5 MP front and back cameras and a large 5197 mAh battery.
The Shield tablet also features stylus support and one is included with the tablet. The base model features 16 GBs of internal storage and retails for $299.00 The Shield wireless controller, which connects via Wi-Fi instead of the usual Bluetooth and also features a stereo jack and microphone as well as a touchpad, retails for $59.99.
There are also a menagerie of accessories for the Shield tablet such as replacement stylus and AC adapters, and a specially designed tablet cover.
I know as far as Android gaming goes this would be my number one device choice at the time of writing.
