ODROID handheld coming soon?

Android games console revealed

2 September 2009 9:31 GMT / By Ben Crompton

A company called Hardkernal has released info on a new handheld console that will be running Google's Android OS.

Called the ODROID, it appears a little cluttered in that it features three sets of buttons, although it is powered by the same CPU as the iPhone 3GS so should have plenty of punch. Other specs include a 3.5-inch touchscreen, the ability to play back 720p via HDMI and microSD and SD card slots. Wi-Fi is also included.

It has been suggested that the new machine is somewhat aesthetically challenged, so make sure you let us know what you think of it in the comments below.

There doesn't appear to be word on pricing or whether or not it'll be released anytime soon, but as always we'll keep you posted.

  • Whooooa. Is that the bastard son of an Atari Lynx and a deformed Game Gear? Not sure what the market for this is going to be. Android isn't a gaming platform, the iPhone 3GS is so why not buy one of those? And if you're going to have something that ugly in your pocket, why not just get a really fast netbook running XP and treat yourself to some of the great PC games from the last few years that will run easily on it?
