*Correction: As pointed out in the comment section, OUYA used a Tegra 3 chip which predates Nvidia's efforts to showcase the gaming prowess of their chips with the Shield lineup. While this is an error on my part, it does not change anything said in the video as Nvidia was the first company to "get it right" since they had the know-how of PC and mobile market. Key difference between the two devices were 1. OUYA did not natively have Play Store. 2. No efforts were made to push it to all gamers, mostly aiming at just casual gamers with no emphasis on PC/Cloud streaming, and no PC ports. However, a mistake is still a mistake. I'll be careful to proof read and fact check more thoroughly next time.
So one small lesser known fact about smartphones, iPhone wasn't the first, LG came first with the LG Prada which was announced in 2006. But since it never hit mainstream success, it's become a bit of an obscure gem. If it had the backing of a big company like Google or Apple, it likely would've gone further.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone mention Prada phone lol. That takes me back. But I don’t think Prada phone (2007) was a smartphone. It’s classified as feature phone which I agree with since its operating system stems from the feature phones. But hardware wise, that thing was a marvel.

This was sick! there aren't many people who have spoken about the switch development. Just subbe. You have to do some more of these documentaries!
I appreciate it. I’ll definitely be making more of these.
6:09 the ouya actually uses a tegra 3 soc :D
Omg I can’t believe I missed that 😅😅
