Nobody said Vita trolls were intelligent or original.
Someone REALLY loves their Playstation Don Vito.
I wonder how much it'll cost for that knockoff.

It's not worth the time to sue people in China. By the time Sony would file the paper work the people behind this will have rebranded themselves as someone else and disappear off the face of the earth.
That's a part of Android 4.0. The menu/clock bar also includes the on-screen navigation buttons, because since 4.0, physical navigation buttons are unnecessary.

Pixel density of the screen plays into it as well.
It'd be a waste on DS and 3DS, but WiiU's touchscreen has both the resolution and pixel density that the 5 pixel inaccuracy means nothing.

I'm actually interested in this. Where can I buy it?
IuAre you sure this is legit? At 3:35 when the Mario All Stars is on the start screen the game starts before he hits the start button... Like about half a second before. He tries to hit the back button but the game starts and he quickly presses the start button to cover it. I think this is a video running on the device and not games.
The emulation part anyways. The angry birds stuff at the end looks legit.
I may be totally wrong though. If it is real I want one!

We know very little about the Xbox's processor, making it very difficult to emulate.
Because 2 screen is practically unnecessary to play games?
beside that I don't think there are any games that utilize 2 screens in Android.

How good is the emulation for SNES, and what's the battery life on this thing? I will seriously get one if the battery life is good and the emulation is near perfect.

Damn. I want one of those. That thing already has more games that interest me than the Vita has :|

The PSP-shaped ones, I think I'd prefer since the cramped handhold and tiny buttons of the Vita has been a drawback for me.
Still an interesting development. I would love to see a legit product in the Android market from a notable manufacturer (I have the Xperia Play and like it OK as a game machine, but it should have been the start of something rather than the proof case to not start anything) as these Chinese knockoff devices are tough to buy. Sometimes they're pretty awesome though, I've bought a few devices that have been worth the money. I'm interested in impressions if anybody picks one up, but I don't know if I'll be a risk taker in this case.
Weird that these Chinese knock-off devices always rush to get the latest version of Android possible onto their machines. It's cool that they do but it's not 100% necessary yet, these specs they're targeting probably aren't great for Android 4.0 but you could do a lot with them in lesser versions and could more easily hack the shit out of them too. (I don't think there's any future-proof drawbacks either in adding apps, I don't see a lot of apps that limit by OS version but maybe I'm reading specs wrong?)

Of course this is illegal and might get confiscated by customs if you try to import it. Doesn't make it any less of a good thing. Sure, the copied design is a bad idea but physical controls on Android are a good thing and physical analog sticks are something even the Xperia Play doesn't have. Since the hardware in the Play is kinda dated there's a need for someone to keep making Android systems with integrated physical controls (though I can think of more convenient form factors than the Vita, the Vita is f###ing huge compared to the Play).
Since there's the Play as a big name brand physical control system there are plenty of games on Android that support physical controls (at least among those games where it makes sense, some are so designed for touch that buttons would not work). Also unlike Apple there's no rule against proudly announcing your support for third party controllers on the Play store.

There is also another one, called it "Much". With a Demo Booth on China Joy 2012.

In China? HW and SW patents are documents to copy from almost verbatim, not design around.
Eurogamer just posted a review of this device:

EDIT: Wait what? Eurogamer says it's actually better in some ways? (Ah, functionality-wise.)
And oh boy, I'm a bit late on the gif reaction.
As expected, it's a piece of shit.

I bet you can play more ps1 games on this thing.
Figured as much. With all of those knockoffs. It's why the Archos:

While far from being a good brand or design, seems like it at least holds the possibility of not sucking completely.

Yeah, because it can play HD movies and surf the web?? That part was werid.

Judging by the Eurogamer article, good luck getting a PS1 game running on that thing, it's essentually a farting paperweight that runs Android.
Looks like a classic knockoff. Looks just like the original device, but with completely shit materials and haphazard logos thrown about it. Usually the OS would be complete dogshit too, but since Android has come along, it's actually given some sort of boosted quality to these kinds of devices from what you usually expect, which is kind of funny and weird.

Ugh, why is he using the analog stick to play old 2D games meant for digital input? Horrible.
It's possible for apps to hide all of that and run in fullscreen (apps like YouTube and Dice Player do this on the Galaxy Nexus, to allow the entire screen to be used for video playback), but these emulators probably haven't been programmed to do that.

That part was particularly weird because you can do that on Vita too ... I'm going to guess based on the rest of the article it was him talking about the ability to access the Google Play store. However, given the device's poor compatibility with so much stuff I wouldn't even give that to it.
