According to leaked FCC documentation, it appears that Nvidia has decided to cancel its new Shield Tablet, that was earlier spotted in the in the FCC filing.

According to a leaked document from Federal Communications Commission (FCC) database, dated August 1st and spotted by Androidpolice.com, Nvidia has decided to cancel the tablet "for business reasons".

The earlier rumored Shield Tablet refresh, which was spotted at FCC, packed some impressive specifications, including an 8-inch 1920x1200 resolution screen, faster Tegra X1 SoC, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.

The most probable reason is the decline in tablet sales and Nvidia's focus on motor cas.

Hopefully, this doesn't mean that we won't see any more tablets or similar devices from Nvidia in future but not the new Shield Tablet.

Apparently the X1 is going into the Nintendo NX instead. Strange times.

i hope not, the x1 has no power and the x2 is supposed to launch before the year is out.

Yeah, some are speculating that the x1 rumours are just that . . . rumours. It would suck to use the x1 in the NX (which is apparently more of a tablet than a standard console).
