Why am I suddonly reminded of what console gaming was like back in the early 80s?
And to be honest, I don't have very high hopes for this thing.
Oh, and here's some techical stuff.
Tegra3 quad-core processor
1GB RAM
8GB of internal flash storage
HDMI connection to the TV, with support for up to 1080p HD
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth LE 4.0
USB 2.0 (one)
Wireless controller with standard controls (two analog sticks, d-pad, eight action buttons, a system button), a touchpad
Android 4.0
ETHERNET!
That is not a hell a lot of memory... my MP3 player has that much...

Well it's only $99 dollars and uses the Android OS. ITs open source and can download the games on the Android phones as well, they're working on getting more thrid party support in order to play actual console games. Plus it comes with its own developer kit, meaning each owner can potentially be a developer as well, and they're actually encouraging hackers/moders to improve on it.
Even if this doesn't catch on ill still support since they're actually thinking about possibly futures for the market and taking a chance instead of following the curve.
