as a friend or friend got to thank you
we're gonna kick things off with a tablet thats unlike any other I've ever
seen Jason how
produces and now hosts TNT every morning our daily doses news on the TWiT network
is also those to all about Android produces the Giz with as many other
things

fighter
I did up cracking 10,000 i cud the goals for so
it was cells produce good jobs Vijaya alright
damn day at Kickstarter wasn't ago it was pictures Kickstarter project on is
Anne well
yes so this is the strangest lookin it's a tablet right exactly well and and
that's kind of
its differentiator right it's obviously a gaming device
and that's what it's entirely designed to be it might look at as a control
ironies liza del it out right out 0 and it's a tablet
typical I had arranged a 7-inch tablet now would definitely compare this to
last year's generation the Nexus 7
last year yes not this year it's not the fall HD
you know 1080 P display it's actually 1280 by 800
are but you know all things considered that don't the entire device is two
hundred fifty dollars
so when you're talking about 7 inch tablet Android space right now to under
fifty dollars a pretty
standard price point service for deployment as a clue horrible
and this one here and do it you can do that exactly this is this one comes with
the
highly specialized gaming controller which can has a ago
a sago was at the game dear the the portable
yeah I kinda feel to it but I'm not sure you've got a thumb control you've got a
better way to large
dole's got buns all program I obviously depending on the on the
the gamer so it's like some a stretched-out and PlayStation controller
and put a time limit exactly exactly the tablet is your display it rests
right inside this actually was first announced back in CS in 2012
as a 10-inch device are then the scrapping plans close to the end of last
year
and rejected it to be a 7-inch device and they're just now
I think in June releasing here released here for turning fifty dollars
you care bill availability was just announced for September 27th
so they're starting to kinda get this out there and yeah I mean it's it's
obviously it's a specialized gaming tablet and it actually does a really
good job
at being that is definitely for the gamer are there aren't a whole lot I've
alternatives out right now there's the Invidia shield that a smaller dubbed
smaller display
single integrated kinda device all in one this allows you to pull it out and
actually make a tablet
like a mullet it's a yes business in the front yes that's a great way to put it
it's totally the
party in the back party at that the nice iPad as Salam bro metallic so
I see speakers on the bomber those active or passive those
are oh yeah you know one of those are active or passive in other words I'm
asking if the speaker yet their power nearly
according the speakers on the back at the tablet or third
their own speaker system on it man you know I'm just now realizing because I
played in headphones for those
right play is a at home this is the greatest game it's really not that loud
so it must be passive
yet to be honest because it's not passing through the area larger
does that things are counting their batteries yes their mothers a battery in
the tablet not in the device
kelso's pulling power power specifically from the tablet
I which is kinda one in the dings the habra gaming
are especially on Android I'm sure just in general gaming is pretty battery
power yeah hungry right hours so the battery
power if you're gaining a lot using this is not gonna last as long as maybe
you know you can just compare it to like your smartphone lasting all day right
looking like use case you still have access to the power
for the charging port at the top there is that right yes is the charge good for
getting
or no you could so this is the USB power on the bottom right
okay is what actually connects into this device so you can charge my
are you have the support back here which is kinda hard to see
so you could plug okay just continue power continue to power your play
but I let's see I wanna see crazy here all-time favorite games I
Mr point if it was very good but its controls are very tough to use
on that stay long tablet because you do yes the ring with this screen is where
those weird
exactly exactly so any other is the only thing to your control
look at this yeah it's fantastic I love this game I was so happy labor now fran
for Android so yeah I've got yours at the Genesis what was this on or this was
on
Cardinal expires on the Dreamcast three Michelin stars and then
you know they they ported to other versions as well onlooker even that is
but yeah I mean I I'm not a huge fan a touch screen controls and 10 there are
many people that really are that would prefer it
-8 playing horribly right now I bought this guy just a plague that such
nostalgia for
the plane on the tablet was very unsatisfied had to die down actually the
speakers are
are reasonable hour a loud enough on performance
is great you know I played a number games and actually have a list it's a
Tegra 3
processor inside so you get access to take his own which is can have
its owned marketplace designed for Tegra supported games
so there's a buncha games there if you go to the wiki pad site there's over 100
games that are listed that have
support right out the box which basically means
the game that developers have built-in support for these controllers and napped
things accordingly are you also and access because as PlayStation Certified
to get the PlayStation Certified games on here as well if you want PlayStation
games
I also happen to load up a little emulate you
and so I got you know super punch-out with a high favorite Super Nintendo
games
and that you know hey does *** asian pretty well as well as is a crisis think
it's great for kids
totally I'm in two hundred fifty dollars you it's really hard to
kinda past that that deal is there any lag between
the controller and the screen is not that I've noticed it's pretty smooth I
mean it's pretty solid you're not doing it over Bluetooth right it's it's
connecting through the USA at the bottom
so it's pretty instantaneous but as you say the games have to be designed to
work with they don't have to be
but dar Invidia there are games that work
with in video processor specifically this is capable playing so anything work
with it
yep pretty well okay so any workout with Crazy Taxi know where your
right joystick if the game has built-in support for mapping to harbor
controllers
it will okay mr. games do it as well lot of them do I wouldn't say they all do it
was one of those
extra features that game developers can add into their games and some of them
don't make much sense for controller right there full touchscreen
games it really wouldn't know to moving into Angry Birds wouldn't be
be say a silly wrap up the road but crazy tax is a really good example
game that's almost unplayable on a tablet but is still looks great be fun
to play yeah and there's a
you know rip riptide there the have riptide to GP
Witcher gp2 rather than just came out which is more like a water
can have water skiing game that was I when I really plays really well in here
and you know there's a number of different ways that you can play this
game
where you are using the touch screen where you can kinda bend the controller
and everything
but a course with with this you can use these controllers on the side and
plantain
yeah I mean it's fantastic if what you're looking for is a device
taken place in the Android games and there's a lot on that are coming out
these days
and play them natively the where used to play on a console
think this is a pretty darn a good piece a gear let's get the pros and cons
some pros let's see here let me refer to my fancy piece a paper here
aglow good dual-purpose device and I say that specifically meaning
that you be on a 2-on-1 here right you get a gaming system
you also get a Stanley hello to a really great guy
are the *** at the controls actually really well built and very comfortable
to use over time
and you get that extra gaining access access to the PlayStation Certified
games as well as the Tegra Zone games
archives and has a first-person shooters tell yes absolutely absolutely and
actually comes with some that stuff already
installed when you get a icons it is
obviously pretty balking you gotta be okay with that heavy
its portable but could you see yourself really throwing this
easily into your backpack in that you know like its it's just not like super
small and gets bigger than the 3ds urs but I think you're ok you're kinda okay
with that if you buy something like that
our controller support sometimes can be a little tricky we can talk a little bit
about it
even on supporting game sometimes the menus are still required touchscreen
so you know you have to be okay with a little bitter that weirdness from time
to time
and storage storage is actually lacking its arms texting
16 gigs but you can store games on their so it has what cite cite 16 gigs I've
internal
and has he card but you can see your gains on the SD card
to limit at san andreas law absolutely a targeting the device specifically for
that
the being that it's a gaming device having 16 games right off the top when
that a limitation
might be a downside and you don't think it for Android 4.1 for jelly bean
for up the latest it's not the latest um
you know there there were kinda slow slow out of the gate with this device
initially some not surprise us all stuck on 4.1 I didn't really bother me that
much it's still jelly bean so yay for BA
leave jelly bean yeah exactly and I'm sure we'll get upgraded at some point
although I haven't seen a specific news for
arm so try buying don't buy what you think and i was i was
right in between try and buy but I think I ultimately just opted for by
I mean really price $150 dollars is not bad for what you get here and you get
the multi-purpose you not just what it is
blaming yes to electoral I think for kids especially a
me like a thirteen fourteen year old I think it's a great great device def
totally
I have had the week a bad good for them thank you Jason Howell
