It appears that Xiaomi wants a piece of the Android console market, since a bunch of fresh rumors are saying that the company is prepping to launch a new Android gaming device. Reports talk about a new mystery device, that would be a handheld Android games console, but it’s basically an updated Xiaomi Box in the end. Tipsters say that Xiaomi…
Wall Street Journal is reporting today that Google is preparing to release an Android-based gaming console in the near future and also a few more devices, including a sequel for the doomed Nexus Q. The Nexus Q second gen has apparently been tested by the FCC already and rumors also say that a third project is also in development, involving an iPod-like…
The Nvidia Shield is one of the two gaming devices to keep an eye out for this year, aside from the Razer gaming tablet, OK maybe 3 devices if you count the Wikipad. The PS Vita is basically dead and I don’t think we’ll ever see a new Nintendo DS, so it’s all in the hands of tablets… The Nvidia Shield is neither a tablet, nor…

Samsung’s Game Pad accessory is a very interesting piece of gear, with an expanding clamp that will accommodate 5+ inch devices, such as the Samsung Galaxy S 4 and maybe the Galaxy Note III. The latter is rumored to have a 6.3 inch screen, so maybe that’s why this size is mentioned in the supported device areas. In case you’re thinking…
Ouya, the little Android gaming console that could, has the opportunity to change the gaming world forever, after the PS4 launch left us with a bitter taste in the mouth and one year away from the PS Vita console, it sounds like a total failure.
