The device in question is a kind of media player to be called Android Hub, and through it Google wants to step further in home entertainment.
Little is known so far, only allow streaming media playback, which have already sent some of these devices to their employees to begin to try, it will be Google's own brand and will be called Android Hub. From this we deduce further that, obviously, will Android. From here are all speculations.
Remember that Google already has a multimedia entertainment system, Google TV, so this release is striking enough, and he would go to cover something you already have in their hands, and now also on the rise since at CES 2012 will submit a lot of TVs and different brands with this system.
However there are still things to do here, and you can see the Android Hub as an evolution of Google TV, as it may not have been raised quite right from the start. Bring raises Android Google TV to television, either integrated directly in these or in an external media player such as the Logitech Revue, which so far with the Sony Bluray were the only ones allowed us to do this. One of the major strengths of Google TV can turn one of his biggest problems is that when we say that Android to a television, that's exactly what we do.
The problem here is that Android is not ready at all for that, and although the Market increasingly more applications have adapted to television, something goes wrong. Specifically, you lose the very essence of what most multimedia entertainment needs of the household: simplicity. Play a movie stored in a room in the living room TV using Google TV can take to become a real torment, and not exaggerating. We have different options and find us living with a good application, be lucky and hope that the DLNA in a good mood that day and let us do it for the poor streaming options out there for this or copy it to a hard drive or USB, physically take him and hope that the format is supported.
And this is the real problem with Google TV, which is not easy to use for things that really are worth it. I want that when a friend comes to my house and we apatezca watch a movie, series or play a disc, can turn on the appliance and provide a play, no one wants to copy a 10GB file to a hard disk, take it to the room and connect a USB cable. That is no longer carried, and in fact not necessary, because there are options to do well.
This need is precisely that which should cover Android Hub, to facilitate the life of the user with a method of advanced entertainment, to make things and do well. That's exactly what it claims today the home multimedia user. Android Hub allow streaming of any content, in a simple and easy, and then it would also be able to connect any Android device to the network, and see for example the pictures of our mobile TV, nothing but oddly enough is also an affair with Google TV.
I certainly feel like I have so many Android Hub reaches the market, and I'm sure if you can do it delights of device, what you think about it? What do you expect from this device?

Hello Everyone... I just read some news on my local news source and felt like sharing this. If I did something wrong please be kind with me and let me know i'll delete it :fingers-crossed:
I'll post the whole news here...
"What do you get when you cross an Xbox controller with a five-inch android tablet with beefy stereo speakers? Nvidia's new touch-screen portable gaming system, code-named Project Shield. The hand-held gaming system was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and it could spell more bad news for the Sony Vita, Nintendo 3DS or any other entry in the mobile gaming market. Why? Because it further stretches how consumers can buy and experience video games.
Besides being a complete stand-alone Android gaming system, the chunky controller can also stream games that have been already loaded on a windows PC, providing users are sharing some WiFi router and computer is equipped with a recent Nvidia graphics processor(specifically a Kepler-based GeForce GTX 650 or better). Even hard-core gamers take breaks, right? So now you can carry your games of Assassins Creed around the house with you. Other features include a set of standard game controls and 5-10 hour rechargeable batteries.
The stand-alone mode is based on the JellyBean version of Android OS. An Nvidia representative promised that it was 'pure, unfiltered android that can run anything you can download from the Google Play app store.' Games that have been modified for gamepads and five-inch displays will work better.
One cannot help but notice the potential of this device for playing videos or music, thanks to the clear screen and speakers that are much better than average. Nvidia promises an SD card slot, but will not say how much internel storage the device has. Also up in the air are the final name and the price. All of that will be determined by late spring, which is the earliest consumers will be able to buy one."
Thanks for reading.....gamers get ready for the new level of gaming...

See this awesome video of it's preview....
The video is the first in a series of videos called PC Mondays that showcase the PC-streaming capabilities of Project SHIELD. Steam seems to run Big Picture Mode when connected with Project SHIELD. Borderlands 2 was picked for the demonstration as it is one of the best PhysX games available.

Hi all!
Recently I dicovered "Remote for Apple TV - CiderTV" app - first really working alternative to the Remote app by Apple! No infrared support required, no need to jailbreak. For me it became a real treasure, so want to share you my expericence.
Although my Huawei is of the newest ones, it doesn`t have IR support. And I didn`t want to jailbreak my Apple TV like other apps offered me. It seemed like a dead end first but I was lucky enough to try an app called “Remote for Apple TV — CiderTV” — the only app that worked as I wanted and as was advertised. And some more — was available at no charge.

Easy setup
The app works via WiFi and revealed surprisingly easy to set up. It needs the fabric remote during initial pairing but any other remotes (including apps), paired to your Apple TV before are good for setup as well. As for me — I took my dad’s iPhone and paired via the Remote app in seconds.
Control with gestures
CiderTV remote lets you to control Apple TV with responsive swipes. Same idea was implemented in the Remote app for iOS by Apple but this Android analogue seems more accurate and pleasant to use. One swipe moves the cursor on Apple TV screen right for one position (when overscrolls are typical for iOS Remote). While watching a video, swipe left/right lets you to rewind video or fast-forward. Further swipes will increase rewind/fast-forward speed. It works perfectly with my 4th generation ATV. Touch response is better than the original remote. They didn`t lie!
Swipe and tap to select the on-screen menu I want, double tap anywhere on the screen to go back. Especially handy for nighttime — instead of struggling to find the Menu button within Apple’s Remote app, now I just need to double tap anywhere inside CiderTV to go back a level.
No pitfalls
And I didn`t notice any annoying lags, adds or pitfalls. No need to purchase additional hardware. Many people in their reviews are wondering why isn`t the app more popular. It even has a keyboard — the feature that absolutely lacks in all IR-based apps.
Summing Up
CiderTV is free, doesn`t require IR support or Apple TV jailbreak;
It works via WiFi and is easy to pair;
CiderTV is swipe-based remote with no buttons;
No full-screen, push notification or any other pop-up ads;
No additional hardware needed.
Happy to discover it! It is worthy to try. Grab CiderTV in the Play Store
