I have only just found out about this myself but from this small video I am already excited. It is taken from Pax East going on in Boston?
To those of you not watching this, I shall write what it is about.
It seems nVidia are wanting to get into the handheld console market and are really innovating this time. This handheld device seems to be able to connect to a PC possibly wirelessly through wifi. It will run game from an andriod OS, runs games smoothly showing that it has some good hardware hidden in such a small device. It is what everyone who has ever used a console controller will be used too, a fairly standard controller with a flip out screen.
I do not know much more about this product as I haven't done any research on it but from this video, already, I am contemplating getting one. Never been interested in the PS Vita but this.. It makes me excited
What do you think about it so far?

Wow, these things are popping up everywhere. First Razer announced its Edge tablet, and now Nvidia wants a chunk of this type of market. It'll probably have its own profitable niche, but imo, if you don't have a mouse when playing with PC gamers, you're at a HUGE disadvantage. Hopefully the manufacturers can come up with a solution to this.

Yeah I agree mouse and keyboard FTW but this is pretty awesome nonetheless. I would use it more casually and not for FPS games but racing ones, sure
