The gaming company began informing people who preordered the Android-based device on the new delivery date on Sunday via email, a copy of which was published by Android Police:

We want to thank you for your patience and for sticking with us through the shipment delay of your Shield. We have great news to share with you ? your Shield will ship on July 31st. Our goal has always been to ship the perfect product, so we made sure we submitted Shield to the most rigorous mechanical testing and quality assurance standards in the industry. We built Shield because we love playing games, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

The device, which was demoed at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January, was originally expected to ship on 27 June, but was delayed by an unspecified "mechanical issue" with a "third-party component". Originally priced at US$349, the Shield's price was cut to US$299.

The Nvidia Shield is a portable gaming system that unites the controller and a 5-inch, 1280x720-pixel touchscreen into one single package. The Shield can handle all Google Play apps and stream PC games from Nvidia-based computers through a Wi-Fi connection. It's one of the first to house the much-anticipated Tegra 4 processor, and sets itself apart from others with its ability to stream full PC games over a Wi-Fi network.

It also features 16GB of storage, mini HDMI, micro USB 2.0, GPS, Bluetooth 3.0 and a microSD card slot for storage expansion. 802.11n 2x2 MIMO Wi-Fi, integrated speakers and a headphone jack round out the specifications.
