"This knock-off features a sizable 5-inch display, single-core (but still pretty decent) Cortex-A9 processor, gyro sensor, rear and front facing cameras and comes in a variety of colors. What you are looking at right in front of you is simultaneously Android's greatest strength (its ability to run on any device) and it's greatest weakness (its ability to be ported to any device). Still, if I saw this at the swap meet for like, I don't know — $150. I'd probably pick one up."
Theyre actually $120. :P

Not the highest powered device out there, but pretty neat nonetheless.
More importantly this highlights the potential for Android to be used in dedicated game consoles and other devices due to its open source nature. The ability to be used on devices with hardware controls really opens a lot of doors for game developers on the platform. We saw this advantage with the Xperia Play, but that is still a phone at heart. This is the first time I've seen the OS used on a dedicated gaming console (albeit a Chinese PSP rip-off).
