[Q] Phonejoy Gamepad - What do you think?

I'm thinking of buying the Phonejoy analog version.
It's seems really nice but the seller does not have any items in stock.
go to phonejoy.net
Does anyone has one of these things?

A link would be nice, so we don't have to find it ourselves.

I have one, its the prototype - was sent for me to review. Great controller, I love it!
(he did give the link BTW, Phonejoy.net - also keep an eye out at Mobilefun and Clove in the UK, they have small shipments going out to them).
Here is more info:

So, can we use the ps3 with the bluez ime? Or just those controllers mentioned in the site?

Nope, still no way to connect PS3 controllers to Android handsets. The Phonejoy is the only option for a PS-like controller (unless you have a stock Android/cyanogenmod ROM handset, in which case you can use Wiimotes).

Datel wii wireless classic controllers with have more buttons... and personally I like the original wii cc even better. Who knows what nintendo will release with the next system

I can't find the Datel controller.
But I want a controller with shoulders buttons and bluetooth.
That's why I want the Phonejoy or the Datel.

Is there any price yet? Crap they r not even in production yet. If they r making 100-200 of them they r gonna be freaking expensive if they don't mass produce over 1000 of these...

They won't be expensive, the original one was cheap despite the low production.
The Datel one you can get from Codejunkies (via Shipito if you live outside the US/UK). They pop up on Ebay and Amazon from time to time also.

Based of the first being much cheaper than the likes of the iControlPad, despite having much smaller production numbers than the upcoming one, and the fact that I know the Phonejoy manufacturer (thats how I came to have the prototype for review) and I know that they are having their cases ordered in larger numbers (=cheaper per unit), and I know that they are aware of being very price sensitive.

I've been looking for these controllers, what is the Datel one people are mentioning here? Can anyone provide a link, i'm possibly searching the wrong thing in google.

It's the datel wii wireless retro controller.
But I can't seem to find one from the internet.
So i'm waiting for the Phonejoy to release it's analog version.

I'm gonna own one... No doubt... Simple as that...

Since u r such a close friend of the manufacturer, when's a release date?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

Most recent information is that around 200 will be produced in August, but they're in talks with a manufacturer presently, and hoping to be able to produce 500-1000 a month from September onward.

I think i'm more attracted by the iControlpad or this other controlpad someone posted where it fits over your keyboard and utilizes the keyboard buttons (anyone what that was called or was that just a one off user invention?).
Mainly because I need something a bit more portable for on the go gaming.

I think you're thinking about the Game Gripper...
Phonejoy are looking into making one like the iControlPad, because they realise that the portability side needs addressing too. No ETA, they are in the early design stages at this point in time, and their priority is increasing production of the dual-stick Phonejoy at the present time.

Just ordered one. Let the waiting begin.

Waiters gonna wait.

Pre-order is live!

Controller:

I just ordered one I'm so excited!

Will the player be available on other places other than google play store? I have some gift certificates on Amazon and would be very nice to get it for free

Ordered two. Let the waiting commence!

Not that I see.
Nontheless I intend on waiting and snagging one from best buy

Snagged the Player, but the controller was out of stock... came back in about an hour and the controller was available and I snagged it as well !

damn...sold out already..

It looks like the nexus player has been pulled out of the play store due to FCC approval/disapproval.
This device has not been approved by the Federal Communications Commission.
It is not for sale until approval of the FCC has been obtained.
Says the google product's page

Weird. Why did they put it for sale the first time? Did they expect to get an approval but then FCC failed it on some point (probably EMC, always a tricky part)

FCC approval just came through. If you didn't manage to order already then keep an eye on that order page. They may open it up again soon assuming they are not truly sold out already.

Its back up.

But the controllers are still sold out

Gone again...lol

any idea about the availability in EUROPE?

I am also very curious about that.

Managed to order a nexus player and controller today, shipping on 21 Nov.

I have just ordered Nexus Player with remote and controller from eBay - since Google Play doesn't ship to my country - I hope I won't get cheated.
I bought it mostly to develop games for it, so I hope it will arrive before Christmas so I can release at least one of my games on Nexus Player by then.

Ordered mine too. 11/21
No controller tho. Going to use it as an XBMC center

I wonder if it will be better than Fire TV in that regard - while Fire TV is excellent with XBMC it doesn't support HEVC (h265).

I just ordered mine last night from best buy, will arrive on friday for me. Im really excited to try vr for the first time since virtual boy in the 90's lol. I am hoping some brilliant developers can modify the playstation remote play app or something like it so we can stream our console games to the gear vr!!!

I am very interested in this hardware but it's still nowhere to be seen in the EU. I have some questions about it though as I primarily want it to view movies and series with in bed at night. Is it compatible with other applications like Kodi and mxplayer or it's a closed ecosystem?

I just got one and I'm not 100% sure that it's good for watching videos. I watched a TV show on it and the quality/resolution wasn't very good. I need to experiment some more. Definitely want to try one out in person before buying I think.

US Shipping Date

Hi guys,
Anyone knows when phones will be shipped for those who pre-ordered in the website? Also - would it be a different date for different colors?
Thanks,

there was no indication during the order process of a date. rumors are though AT&T will have them around Nov. 6th. so that's the best guess.

For the Desire EYE, HTC shipped on the day they were available in store...so we might get ours a few days later. For $120 less though...

Thanks! Anyone knows what the package will include? Didn't find any information about it...

Watched several unboxing videos for what appeared to be the retail version of the HTC One a9, the box included the phone, a standard charger (not fast charge compatible), a micro-usb cable, a sim ejection tool, a pair of HTC ear buds and documentation, that's about it!

NEXUS Player On sale for $25 at walmart

Pretty good price for an android tv device with a x64 atom quad core... just picked one up and have it rooted and running pure nexus

Link perhaps? I couldn't find it in stock at the website.

confirmed, local store had 2 in stock. Thanks for sharing

A Wal-Mart close to me had a lot of Nexus Controllers at Clearance for 30, i went back not too long ago and all were gone. I wonder if they just discarded them... I need to go dumpster diving lol. Luckily i had snagged 2 of these guys went the target Clearance happened. Got one for 26, one for 14.

I just bought the nexus controller for $20 in Walmart

I can confirm this from brick seek in a few locations. many locations either threw them out or shipped them somewhere else before this price drop though. I really think all the Walmart's around threw out the Asus Controllers, for the player. In Pueblo theres a few left.

Website may not show local store inventory, but I found their Android App seems too.

Sold out online, and sold out in all the stores I check in the Atl suburbs (north and west)

One Walmart here lowered the controller to $20. Should I grab it given I'm using an PS4 controller on my Sony Android TV?
