$99.

Here's something interesting.

An open sourced console built on Android. Looks like it'll be great for emulating old consoles at least. The price is really attractive, and the fact that it's a console with an actual analogue controller makes me think that at least some developers will be able to come up with some interesting games, rather than the masses of boring, rehashed trite on smartphones.


Specifications:

Tegra3 quad-core processor
1GB RAM
8GB of internal flash storage
HDMI connection to the TV, with support for up to 1080p HD
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth LE 4.0
USB 2.0 (one)
Wireless controller with standard controls (two analog sticks, d-pad, eight action buttons, a system button), a touchpad
Android 4.0

Nice idea, everything already is in place. If they can get more than 2 hands full sold they could get a more attractive price point.

Only have a short time slot though. Soon, we will just hook up our phones by wireless means to all kind of controllers and any TV.

i dont get this kickstarter thing. isn't just a massive and great way to scam off people's donations?
i mean, what if the developers turn out to be crooks and keep running off with peoples' money? how do you punish them?
