Nice one Spec .  I feel GG should do an Android micro-console, everyone else is .  Will be interesting to see how it goes - if enough of them get out there, and they're interchangeable enough in terms of standards/usability/etc; they might get some traction.  Not sure if they'll take off though - doubt it'll compete with the PS4/XB1 (and, library-wise at least, with the PS3/X360), so not sure who the target audience is - Android fans who are kind of into gaming but not enough to do the research and get a system with a good library/capabilities?

what was that other android gaming box for sub $100 ?  what ever happened to that thing.
