Nvidia Launches GameStream, Adds Shield Button-Mapping

Image
Shield updated to Android 4.3. If you're an owner of Nvidia's portable Shield gaming console, there's some fairly hefty announcements coming your way today. As IGN previously reported from an event in Montreal , GameStream--beaming compatible PC games from your GTX-ready rig to the Shield--has officially left beta. And on the Android side, the Shield's library of mobile games has expanded considerably. After its launch, the Shield was only compatible with a particular list of Android games. But starting today, Nvidia has launched the Shield Gamepad Mapper, allowing nearly any Android title to be converted to Shield's controller inputs. Nvidia will release button mapping profiles on a weekly basis via over-the-air updates, but it's also possible to set your own configurations and share them with friends. IGN's review of the Nvidia Shield did take some contention with the--then beta--streaming of PC games to the portable unit. After spendin...

Microsoft Confirms Windows 8.1 is a Free Update

Image
Still no confirmation of an exact release date. Last week, Microsoft admitted the company was at work on the first major update for Windows 8 , codenamed "Blue." Details were scarce at the time, but Microsoft CMO and CFO Tami Reller has now formally revealed the update as Windows 8.1 during JP Morgan's Technology, Media, & Telcom Conference, reports Engadget .

HTC 10 shows its face again, black version pictured

Image
HTC 10 is going official on April 12 but we know pretty much everything there is to know about company's next big thing. We know the design is a hybrid between the One M9 and One A9, we know about its Quad HD AMOLED screen and Snapdragon 820 chip, the possibility of a Snapdragon 652 model, its rumored retail price at €740, even the reported April 15 as a lunch date. HTC has begun a marketing campaign with teasers over the social networks, but the leaks are quite more revealing than HTC's hints. Today's leak show the black flavor of the HTC 10 shot next to its silver sibling. We've seen its metal chassis leak already in detail, though, and this gloomy shot only shows yet another view of the black version. Fingers crossed HTC did manage to keep something from leaking and will surprise us on April 12. Source • Via
