[DSpider]

Awful name.

Agreed. Sounds more like a Kindle than Gaming Tablet.

1gb of ddr2?

You'd need at least 2gb for Jellybean.

 

[memadmax]

New phenomenon?
garbagepads like garbageware?

I'm running Jellybean on my Nexus and it's smooth, responsive, and has 1 GB of Ram- not sure why you'd need 2 GB as normally I'm using less than half and haven't ran into any speed or performance issues with a number of games (GTA III, Dead Space, and tested various emulators).

 

[kawininjazx]

Agreed, the 1gb on the nexus seems to be more than enough.

 

[g00fysmiley]

1 gig of ram is more than enough for most emulators and mobile games. if the price is right for a 10+ inch tablet i can see it doign very well

 

[friskiest]

I doubt they dropped the 3D screen for lack of available 3D games and the power needed to run it at native res.

 

[dimar]

What, no SLI?!

 

[leongrado]

Everyone wants to get a part of the tablet market pie huh?

I actually came up with a design very similiar last year, had it posted on my blog and my website, but I took it down because I used a nvidia wallpaper in photoshop on it and wasn't sure if it was ok to use, so I took it down. It was just a concept design. The gamepad was even removable. Wasn't anything I was going to build or anything, just an idea I had messing around in photoshop.

But you have higher bandwidth DDR3, so maybe it makes a diff? :O still don't think a mobile OS should be using more than 1GB for a while. Must make this stuff more efficient.

 

[scottiemedic]

Actually pretty cool looking. I hope they don't cripple it like Kindle Fires and other tablets that don't give you full access to the Android Market...

So let me get this straight:

They took a tablet and put a controller on it for gaming purposes. Congratulations! You just developed the portable gaming console. Now if only someone developed this 25 years ago, they could have really made a market for a product like this.
