if you can use it for netflix, sync a keyboard, and generally use it like a webtv. I am sure they can find a market - just not the intended.

Not Android, but how about the more popular iPhone? Apple could be smart and make an iPhone AP compatible mini console or a full open source emulator for the Mac. Does the iPad and iPhone share the same Aps?

The iPad, iPhone, and Apple TV all use iOS and all use a variation of Apples A processor. (the Apple TV has identicle innards to the original iPad, minus the ethernet, hdmi etc.)

While I'm sure you can probably get games on a jailbroken Apple TV, I'm not sure it's so good for it. The remote isn't exactly conducive for gaming.

It's the EVO "2"...does that mean there was an EVO 1? I don't really keep up with anything Andriod/cell phone related...

Other than that, the controller looks terrible. The logo is off-center or something, it just looks sloppy.

Well there is the Evo, Evo Shift, and Evo 3D phones by HTC. So I'm not sure how this company can call their phone the Evo 2. Though going off the script on the picture I think it may be Evo Squared. Either way it seems like copyright infringement.

Looks like it has potential, but I don't know. Phone games on a TV sort of defeats the purpose of games on your phone (which people generally play when there is no console around I might assume). If they had some serious third party support then maybe.

Guess we'll find out when it comes out.

(for the record though I would never buy this system as I don't own an Android, let alone a smart phone :P)
