I will be analyzing this a bit more over the next few days because it’s an interesting product that runs along the lines of the Open Pandora project we showed you yesterday. The gaming device is built around a Samsung ARM platform with a Cortex A8 core running at over 800Mhz so it’s going to be a very fast device. There’s also a huge 512MB RAM to play with. It’s available now for $349.00. If Android gaming takes off, this looks like a fun device to have to take advantage of it!
As with many of these non-standard Android devices, there’s no Google seal of approval so it means you don’t get Marketplace or any of the nice Google applications but the source and a ton of schematics and documentation are available on the ODroid developer website. More videos and information available on the main odroid site.
Looks nice but I bet it will go the way of the tapwave zodiac and the ngage.
Wow, that device looks slick! Unfortunately I think it’ll go in the direction of nGage as well, yeah. Still, the idea is very neat.
