Meet the 'Droid X360', a PS Vita knockoff that runs on Android

Sadly, no word on pricing yet or if this will be released in NA/Europe



That's right, this handheld console runs Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) in a PS Vita-style shell. Lots of emus included.

So, if the Sony Xperia PLAY isn't good enough for your Android gaming needs, take a look at the "Droid X360", a chinese PS Vita knockoff that runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

It has 9 different kinds of built-in emulators for Arcade games, N64, PS1, GBA, GBC, NES/FC, SNES, SEGA MD and GG (probably just the ones that are already available on Android).

Apparently a Chinese company has released a new device called Droid X360 that looks an awful lot like the PS Vita. The Droid X360 comes with Android 4.0.4 installed, a 1.5GHz processor (not sure if it’s a dual core), 512MB of RAM, 8GB of onboard storage, a 5-inch capacitive touchscreen display (800 x 480), HDMI-out, a microSD slot (support up to 32GB), a mini USB port, 2800 mAh battery, a rear 2-megapixel camera and a front 0.3-megapixel shooter. And it includes two analog sticks!

Sadly, there's no word on pricing and/or if this one will be released in NA or Europe (yet).

Check out a video demonstration of the Droid X360 below!

There's a shitload of these devices already available. Google "Yinlips".
The problem with these as of yet is that the analog inputs aren't interpreted as such. They are simple digital pads which defeats the purpose.
Another thing is sound lag in emulators.

I will buy one of those as soon as it has true analog support. ICS already supports it so it should be just a matter of time.
