The ODROID Android Gaming device has SO much potential, it’s a shame that nothing has reached the public beyond the Developer’s Edition. If you don’t remember ODROID it’s a PSP lookalike with (oddly) 3 D-Pads and HDMI video out that allows you to connect your device to a big TV for extra intense gaming. We kind of forgot about ODROID but with the new 3D Gaming features of the Android NDK added to the obvious fact that the HardKernel are keeping their ODROID up to date has us optimistic.

And by up to date I mean they’ve got it working on Android 2.1:



The description of the above video claims the ODROID will be available in early March. Well… we’re here in early March but I’m guessing this launch will also be a Developer Edition device. I’m eager for SOMEONE to come out with an HDMI-out capable Android that is built with gaming in mind – whether it be ODROID or something else. Hey Sony… whaddaya say you take a ride on the wild side and make a Playstation Phone based on Android?

THAT would be the day…
