I like the design of it. Will have to look out for it when it comes out
 
Takes linux powered rifle and blows own brains out!! The amount of bloody android controllers has now officially reached critical mass...

I wouldn't dream of putting the add-on controllers and real handhelds with builtin controls in the same category.
We've seen more and more of these now, mostly as the natural extension of the old gaming PMP market. No surprise there. Slap on some gaming controls and preload some illegally required ROMs (sigh..) and you have yourself a pretty effective cheap product. And I like that this product class is getting more attention. Sadly they're taking forever to hit a good quality baseline. Still stuck with low prices, lower end hardware, poor software, and poor build quality and support. So there's definitely room for improvement. I have a JXD S7300 and I like it and think it was a good purchase - and I only bought it after cautiously monitoring the market for a long time - but it has a long way to go before it even begins to approach the quality of mainstream western market tablets and phones. Even the lower cost ones. I've already got a missing volume button that flew off after a fall (falls are bad but this is just awful soldering, you can tell there was barely anything holding it there), a micro-USB port that only works for data if I push it in tight and hold it that way, and now barely works for charging. I'd use the standard barrel cable charger if it weren't for stories of the thing exploding. The battery life is also not great and the power management is poor.

I hope this market takes off more and is taken more seriously in improving to the point where quality is emphasized over simply racing to the bottom in price. I'd gladly pay more for something better polished that I wasn't constantly afraid of breaking. So it saddens me when some of the new ones I see are that Yinlips with a ridiculous price of $33 - I don't care if that's wholesale, with a price like that you know you are getting more shoddy electronics. I hope this one can manage to raise the bar on that. I give it points for at least trying to have a design that isn't a blatant ripoff of Sony or Nintendo. AFAIK these guys do peripherals so maybe they have half a clue. Highly portable this is not but I'd take this sort of design over Shield.

I quite like the look of this one too, if the triggers are analogue and the sticks too, could be a nice unit,

So long as not flawed by a poor battery life or excessive price.

I liked her nails too
 
Looks comfortable to hold. Reminds me of the Circle Pad Pro of the 3DS/XL.
 
No sd card slot = fail doesnt look like a very good screen
How do you know there isn't one underneath?
The video monstercameron posted has them turning the thing around and there is no SD slot.  I didn't notice either until cazmiester mentioned it, I then watched the video again and he is correct.  Since it's still in development I guess there is a small chance they will add it.

At the moment I find this product most appealing:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsb7gm1IrPk

I like the style except for the midget hands that would be required for hitting the dpad and abxy buttons =/
Kind of agree on this front too.

I meant I liked the overall design, but like you said, the lower control parts seems like they may not fit an orango tango hand like mine.

I think Exophase meant that the SD card could be inside the console.

If there are none, it better has quite a lot of memory, otherwise it is a no-no to me.

I would not buy it either way, as I´m happy with the caanoo and galaxy note II so far on what those can do.

Nah, I meant the way he read it.. I didn't know the video showed underneath the handheld, couldn't watch it at the time :/

Was it certain there was no spot that could be labeled SD? Like there appears to be a spot labeled HDMI with no actual connector present.. one would lean towards that being a placeholder for a connector to be added.

EDIT: Okay, now that I actually can watch the video I see there really is an HDMI slot hidden back there :( .. also it would have been pretty great if Charbax was drunk.
