The last update to NVIDIA's Android-powered SHIELD game machine was only a month ago, but there's another one waiting in the wings. Since SHIELD is already running the latest version of Android, this is a maintenance update, but NVIDIA seems to be sending the full software image (460 megabytes) anyway. SHIELD users should see it pop up on their screens sometime today - make sure you're near a speedy WiFi access point before you begin.

Major 6-Hour Google Market Maintenance Coming This Thursday. What Could It Be For?
As a registered Android developer, today I, along with thousands of other devs, got the following email from the Android Market Support team.
