This might come as a bummer to anyone who owns either of these devices, but we're honestly not surprised by this news. The Shield Tablet K1 was released back in November of 2015, and the original Shield Tablet is even older (originally launched in July of 2014).

Confirmation for the end of life for devices is never cheery, but in some cases such as this, it just makes sense.
