He noted that Apple comes as a threat because it has a “huge amount of market share” and a “relatively obvious pathway” to taking over the living room. “The question is can we make enough progress in the PC space to establish ourselves there, and also figure out better ways of addressing mobile before Apple takes over the living room?” Newell asked. He pointed to projects like Miracast, which is baked into Android 4.2 Jelly Bean devices like the Nexus 4, and Nvidia’s Project Shield, which includes support for Valve’s Steam Big Picture mode.
