I probably prefer to just use my note 2 as a controller and hook it through my tv HDMI port to play games and movies. But I guess that for a hand held game it sounds good. About like the price range of a Nintendo D's. The archos is more capable computer with better graphics minus 3d but I don't see the quality games like on the Ds. I still might just get the PSP vita. Or a PSP enabled gamepad.

Imagine if Google did this. It would raise the bar in Android gaming. Have 2 models of the Nexus 7; one with controls and one without.
