I think it sounds interesting, and hopefully shows that companies are still pondering Android devices with gaming controls.
I'm not sure I'm a fan of the add-on controller strategy though... I do like that I always have the Play controls with me, conveniently tucked away when not in use.
EDIT: Note that it is a 10-inch tablet

I was interested. It does look good. Things like onlive would be great. In the end though, i just went and got the Asus transformer TF300.

Its kinda huge to be carrying all arround the place. Lol. The battery life it would drain with the game + gaming accesory would be terrible. Plus its gonna Cost how much??!! Why oh why couldn't they just make a device with a build in gamepad just like Play. Sony won't even bother like they not bothering giving us anymore update. What a waste.....

Somebody weak up sony ...

Netflix hasn't officially confirmed that there's an Android app in the works, but it is hiring an "Android Video Playback Expert." Sounds like a pretty good hint that Android users will get a treat soon. [Ars Technica via GeekSugar]

Can't wait for this but its pretty old news to be honest http://tinyurl.com/2v7fv4z
It's definitely old news, but the articles he mentioned are recent. This was going around before the evo came out.

Ah, my bad. this is the first i've heard of it. sorry boys!
I am looking forward to this.
Hopefully its free or at least a decent price, unlike the slingbox app.
Darn... I got excited for a second. Old news. There is already a hack to make this possible on the Iphone. The Ipad supports it from the market. I'm sure its possible for high end phones, but the slower ones might stumble.j

[SW] Car Home replacement

I stumbled across this from one of the threads here. Gave it a try, and had to purchase it. Makes my SGT mounted on my dash much easier to use then, without it.
It is in the market. as Carhome Ultra Hope this is not against the rules.

Very cool. I like that Car Home Ultra alot. Found another app that accomplishes alot of the same things but it's a little less cluttered (colorful) and nicer to look at at night. Check it out @ Digital Dash. Developer seems to be pretty cool as well.

very nice app.
Cool looks nice
I have been using GPS speedo on my Droid x for a long time, so when I got my tab, I had to put it on, but it only worked when the tab was bone stock, it hasn't worked after flashing kernals and Rome.
Ill have to try both of those apps, as I have been trying to use other apps for speed, and they suck compared to GPS speedo.

Dragons Lair!

I purchased this today. I have been a HUGE fan of the LD games since the arcade days (remember those places?) and I must say that I was floored at the quality on the Play. Man, pocket DL...the *real* DL (not those side scrolling GBA remakes!)
I hope Digital Leisure brings more of these to the plate. This is just fantastic! I wish even more now that the Play had HDMI out!
Dragons Lair is cool on the play. There was talk of Space Ace for Android in the spring

Yes I have that as well. It brings back happy memories of the vast amount of tokens I dropped in that machine when it first appeared in the arcades.

Huff and puff. They are 100% confident in it, and they've even gone far enough to hire interns onto the Glass team for the summer. They aren't giving up on the product by any means. Besides, they already confirmed a KitKat update is coming soon.
Google is definitely into glass.

Forget about the 5.2 inch Z2. We need to see it made available on the Z2 tablet. That's the device most capable of the feature because of the large display.
Shows how crazy Sony's strategy can be. Release a great feature and announce it with devices less capable for it while the most capable guy stays waiting.
And I say this although I don't own the tablet lol

But...it says Z2 Tablet up there...
disregarding people who can't even read the topic post... do people really not know about hdmi or screen mirroring? the point isn't the screen size since even a tablet screen is too small for any serious, non-touch gaming. the point is that since both devices can output to a larger device, this is what you need to play your games on the go.
