I think the reason they didnt show it playing games is because it cant play games that well!]]>Mar 13th 2010 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/odroid-handheld-game-console-due-early-march-sportin-android-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/odroid-handheld-game-console-due-early-march-sportin-android-2/+1

Anyway. Despite the usual cries of "lol, fail, ugly" from the mainstream commenters, this is actually quite an interesting device for developers (you know, the guys who write the apps you use on your shiny HTCs) and it's a nice cheap entry point. There's a really good first impressions thread on GP32X:

If the developers of this device would have read our comments, and put our concerns into consideration - meaning change that UGLY design - then maybe just MAYBE I'd buy this.

With all the android tablets coming out, I don't need this for development. The MSI's harmony will most likely be better with it's tegra chipset. ]]>Mar 15th 2010 2:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/odroid-handheld-game-console-due-early-march-sportin-android-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/odroid-handheld-game-console-due-early-march-sportin-android-2/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xngLaQtlKPg

According to above video, Quake-3 and GBA games are running well.
