Nvidia just announced that its Shield console will be delayed until July. We've been playing with one though, and wanted to post our first experiences using Shield to pilot Parrot's AR.Drone 2 using the latest build of its AR.Freeflight software.

why is this an article? ar.drones can be controlled with ANY android device with wifi. it includes cell phones, pc's, tablets, even digital cameras.
about the controls, just connect a ps3 controller to the android device via usb or bluetooth. much better.

It can also be controlled via iOS, and the story says as much. But it also says this is a lot more fun than flicking around on the screen of any of those devices. Haven't tried with a PS3.

I 'reckon' there are customers (however limited) for the Shield but it sure is off to a rocky start with the delay until July and the $50 price cut before it even hits the market.

Is the pay service still part of the plan?
