However, the only addition that is specific to the NVIDIA is a new camera app that applies NVIDIA's own K1 processor for making enhancements and adding effects to your photos.The OTA Android Marshmallow update for the Tablet K1 should arrive any time during the course of December, so owners of the gadget should look out for the update notification. The SHIELD Tablet K1 will be the first non-Nexus tablet to be receive an Android Marshmallow update. The original SHIELD Tablet is also expected to be endowed with the update thereafter.The Marshmallow update on the NVIDIA tablet will provide a combination of a vanilla Android Marshmallow experience and NVIDIA's own mobile and PC gaming, as an all in one mobile package
