Trade Ipad for Nvidia Shield Tablet?

XTankSlayerX

Good idea? Depends, do you want a Shield Tablet over an iPad?

 

You can use supported bluetooth controllers, like the Moga series and PlayPad Pro, or you may be able to use a PlayStation 3/4 controller.

I just realized how stupid that was :P I've been wanting to switch to android so I can watch anime and have them stored locally instead of streaming them.

 

Alright, that kinda answers my question, hopefully they do support the DS3/4

@XTankSlayerX for what it's worth

 

I was able to get $350 for my 32GB iPad 3 on ebay, I sold it on 12/31/13

 

 

I have a 64GB iPad air now, and I store content locally on my iPad. It's jailbroken, so I just copy them onto the media partition and play them with XBMC. Even if it wasn't jailbroken you can still do the same thing with the VLC app and iTunes. I just don't like using iTunes if I don't have to. Much easier to SSH the files over, or copy them using iFile+afc2add

 

I also setup two user profiles, one for local content, and the other for playing content from my server at home using my central xbmc db. Then I use plex to play the same content when I'm not at home. Best of all 3 :) No need to switch to android :P

Eh... Too much hassle. Its 2014 and I cant load my own stuff onto an OS  natively?  There really isn't much that I use my ipad, other then chrome and Youtube. (just contradicted my self there haha)

Game stream looks very nice, although im not sure if my wifi router will be able to do that. is there a Ethernet to micro usb thing I can use?
