Unless can port the OS over, then it's just not the same..... It's not just the hardware in this case.
No game streaming, no front facing speaker, no stylus, no hdmi out, no stock Android, no LTE option. Same specs my foot. It's like the saying, got mustache is your father.For gaming it will be the same as it will use the same API, etc.

I dunno lah.....i guess if someone already bought a mipad then they are obliged to push their own choice over others. Ok lah....everybody should just buy the Mipad since you got one. This Shield tablet sucks balls compared to your almighty mipad.
Like I said, different is different. Just because it uses the same SOC and that he chose to purchase the mipad doesn't suddenly make it the same.wah chill bro, not like he is pointing a gun at you to buy mipad..
i would say in terms of specs on paper, both tablets are identical, but design specs wise, shield is designed for gamers while mipad is designed for media consumptions.
Ultimately mipad is value for money for those who are on budget, but if one is willing to splurge abit, shield is a better choice for both gaming and media consumption.
Likewise, those who bought mipad (or simply any other android tablets) need not be left out of the game streaming capability, for apps like Limelight is the Gamestream for non nvidia devices...
Cheers.
Huh? I thought MHL is basically micro usb to HDMI standard like Slimport? I could use MHL on a very old plasma that existed even before the MHL standard was on the scene.For budget conscious, I think the Mipad is a good buy, though availability is very limited.
For the Shield Tablet, I think its fairly valued. For USD 299 for the base model, you can still consider expanding the storage via the SD card slot. For me, I will choose the Shield Tablet cause of the gaming centric features, and the mini HDMI out is a great feature for me. Tablets nowadays always omit this which is great for displaying shows/ games on a big screen. MHL is not the best alternative for me. Also, not all TV supports MHL connection.
very tempted to get one...when i read the review the 283-ppi is kinda low for a 8 inch screen.Probably wait for next gen?
Nvidia will be releasing a 64-bit chip named Denver Tegra K1. Haha wait for this...

Nah. Those "compatible" MHL displays only means that the hdmi port on the tv charges the phone/tablet that's plugged in without external power supply (doesn't seem to work on tablets that require higher inputs though). Otherwise all hdmi ports will work, just that user needs to provide external power supply either via AC or usb.This I am not too sure. I have been seeing MHL compatible TV and monitors of late, so it stuck me as a need to own a compatible display to use MHL. Also from my understanding, the input lag from MHL is also quite high.
I am not expert in this matter, so do correct me if I am wrong.

Input lag is pretty low, much better than any form of wireless screen mirroring. But of course there's that hanging wire.
???Mipad on paper very good. Wait till you get one first lar... that's always the issue with Xiaomi... good also no use... can't buy... always sold out... what's the point of having a good product?
