NVIDIA’s SHIELD gadget is undeniably unique in the Android world, which might be why the company has decided to go with a more mainstream form factor for its second hardware foray. The SHIELD Tablet, as it’s officially titled, was leaked hard last week, but NVIDIA made it official this morning. The 8-inch device features the latest Tegra K1 processor, a 1080p LCD screen, NVIDIA’s GameStream software and other specialized apps, and an optional controller that’s similar to the control pad on the original SHIELD.

Last week Google released a sizeable update to Google Wallet that finally let you carry loyalty cards in digital form. Now Amazon has released its own version of… pretty much the same thing, minus all the other stuff that Google Wallet does. Amazon Wallet is currently in beta on both the Google Play Store and Amazon’s own Appstore in a rare simultaneous release. Compatibility seems to be limited to phones at the moment, and since it’s labeled as “for Fire Phone” on this promo page, it may be pre-loaded on that device.

Amazon wants you to buy its shiny new Fire Phone, and one of the biggest selling points is that fancy head-tracking camera system. So naturally, the first two games to come out of the company’s home-bred Amazon Game Studios for the Fire Phone feature functionality that can only be done with that specific hardware. Unfortunately, both platformer To-Fu Fury (available now for $2) and the upcoming Match 3 RPG Saber’s Edge (free, whenever it’s published) exhibit classic signs of Kinect Syndrome.

Let’s just say you popped open Facebook and spotted something interesting shared by one of your friends – maybe you want to save that? I can’t remember the last time this happened, but I’m sure it’s possible. That’s what Facebook’s newly announced Save feature is for, and I’m kind of surprised it didn’t already exist.

Save will work on the web and in the mobile apps. The options for each post in your news feed will include the ability to save the content (be it a web link, restaurant, album, or anything else) to your Facebook profile for later.
