New Android Based Gaming Console. - General Topics

This isn't really new , its been announced in January. Well its called the OUYA. It seems it has gotten more than enough funds in Kickstarter. So in 15 days they'll get the money and begin development. So its apparently going to come out in March 2013.
The best part is that it is an open source game console, so it is completely hackable and can be rooted. Regarding Software and Hardware, and modifying the hardware or software won't void the warranty. Sounds too good to be true. so you decide if its a scam or not.
Console Specs
Too good to be true. Especially it just being 99 dollars.

Controller:
Seems like PS3 and the XBOX had a baby. Personally I like the controller look.

One day I found another game console called YINLIPS
Its based on Android to and its a copie of the PSP VITA.
It has even a touchscreen support and costs 80 bucks.
The best of it.........its already out and maybe I will get one for fun

Been keeping up with the news of the OUYA.
Definitely planning on getting one.

Of course. Any Android Techy may want it. It sounds pretty awesome considering you can root it and hack it..and performance won't be an issue since.we can add Performance Tweaks to the system just like we do with Roms.

They don't even have them on display, they have none.
It can also act as dlna server and can stream media to an xbox for example pretty cool eh!

Works great with the Mediatomb server on my NAS.
Also good luck with the Best Buy thing.

The Transformer comes with a program called MyNet that will connect to a DLNA server, but its severely limited in the video it will show - If you want to watch movies, then you'll need to find some different software, there are a couple of options out there, but none of them are that great.
Um, would you guys pick the transformer over the xoom just because of the IPS screen?
I pretty much want a really good screen but since the shortage of tablets I might hold off for the galaxy tab.

IPS, price difference and much better dock capability.

[REQUEST] Razer WoW Numeric Pad

I admit, I'm a WoW player. And I'm a Razer fan. I love their products, because they make it so convenient for a lot of things. But I no longer have my Razer mouse (or a computer, but friends do) and I would like to have just a remote app that works as a keyboard, with just the number pad. Starting with 1 in the top left, and 12 in the bottom right.
This is a little vague, I'm sorry. Lol.

Here's the Razer mouse, and the next picture will be the WoW razer add on I use.
Hopefully some one can relate. Lol.

So you want to be able to play your dk, well at least your rotation from your phone. I use unified remote but this only has a regular keyboard. I wouldn't think what you want would be out of the question, hardest part will be getting someone to make it since an app like that would be useless to 99% of people. In saying that I would use it on occasion for lols.

Oh I'm only playing a DK cause I'm on a friends account. Lol. Get him to 85, then earn Heirlooms for a new toon. But yeah, I understand what you mean. I wish I had my mouse back. So I didn't have to request this. Lol. But it would come in handy. Just using it with my left hand, and a mouse in the right would be easier than using a keyboard. I hate using that thing. Even though its razer. Lol.
That app your talking about would work, if the numeric keypad covered the whole screen.
But this app doesn't only have to be used with WoW. It can also be used for people that do inventory as a job, or doing taxes. Idk. Just an idea.

You know, I might just email Razer and see what they think. Lol. An addon for WoW compatable with Android.

lol, that better be a April fools joke! but if it where true.. I wouldn't be happy if I had to deal with crappy stock android from the manufactures. On a serious note... If Google charged for AOSP though... I'd give some $$$. not $50 bucks maybe $20-25. Especially if they would support any device! Not sure I'd like paying for upgrades.

We have just been using a seidio case with kickstand, but had thought about something like your's though. Shame it isn't an old xbox controller that had the slots on top, would make for easy expansion.
Going to work something up though when I go see my brother in law.

I was thinking about a kick stand sorta deal but that wasn't going to do it for me. Found some new pieces and came up with this. Its 100x better allows me to fully use my controller and doesn't require as much stuff constraining my controller.
Anyone else?

Games, its an easy way to play. Others sometimes use kickstands or just lay it down.
I had a cord come in today that
was HDMI for certain phones.. but apparently mine only uses composite so I did sorta get jipped. Was planning using the TV if it worked.

this is everything that shows up from Gameloft. 19 games.
Asphalt 6 doesn't work, so ignore that one.
Thanks. thought I might as well ask but does it have an built in video editor?
Thank you

There is a VIDEO MAKER app, and seems rather basic, but I suppose that would count as a yes. Appears you can add video, pictures, music, and some effects. About as simple as Windows Movie Maker from the looks of it.
Thanks again

I tried BiA2 and it said my device was incompatible.
I believe Modern Combat 2 might also be incompatible. I have it on my Epic 4G, but it stopped working after I started using CM9. I never tried using it on my GS3 or Note 10.1. I gave up on Gameloft since they have poor support in terms of keeping their games working. Out to make a fast buck, nothing more. And BackStap iirc is useless since it has been broken since release. Stopped buying from them when several games stopped working because of Gingerbread. With JellyBean about to be released, I wouldn't be shocked if at least half of the games listed stop working and never get and update.
A real shame, because despite most everything they do being knock offs, they do it really well. I bought 14 games from them, none of them work on my SG3 or 10.1...
Just played Nova 2. Works!
