Nvidia, the creators of the popular Shield handheld system, is fully behind the belief that Android is the operating system of the future – according to the company’s co-founder and CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, at least.
During an investor call before the weekend, Huang explained his beliefs. “Shield is our initiative to cultivate the gaming marketplace for Android,” he stated. “We believe that Android is going to be a very important platform for gaming in the future, and to do so we have to create devices that enable great gaming to happen on Android.
The Shield is an Android device wirh a built-n game controller, which lets gamers “feel” like they’re playing on a real system, rather than swiping away on a touch-screen.
