And this also looks like an interesting idea

But this, this beats everything, IMHO.

I love gadgets like this, which such great ideas behind it and features on it. If this comes true, and it will, then I will defintely consider buying it. And best of all, it runs on Android. Imagine the possibilities.

Sony, Nintendo, Apple, sorry, but mobile gaming like this, on a very open platform, is the future.

It doesn't have a joystick, so it sucks.

Nvidia should make a small cube with built in PSU, 2-2.5 Ghz i5, an SSD bay, 2 RAM slots and their Geforce 980M chip. That one has stellar performance, yet is relatively cool. And then leave it open to Windows/Linux/OSX.
