I've grown a little weary of these kind of things lately, they seen to be announced on a more or less weekly basis.. despite that I actually quite like the look of this (but not the controller)

How long until someone produces a mass-market, no hassle system where your phone/tablet streams video to your TV, and allows you to play games using either your phone or a separate BT controller device?

That could smash both the smart TV and the android STB markets (and be a new market for iCP(2)s)

burn with fire, in any case ubiquity has its upsides.

Actually, having just watched the video of the unu, it does bring a certain portable viewing experience that the other android consoles have been lacking.  It has a 6-axis remote and a full qwerty keyboard in one handheld unit, the whole display and "guts" is in a tablet form - that can be hooked up to your TV.  It even has it's own game controller, so it's trying to cover all of the bases.  The only thing you have left is to integrate cellular tech into the tablet, reduce it's size...like a Samsung Note 2 for example...and you'd have your dream Android device I think.  This is pretty close though...

madcats, gamestick, gamepop + the myriad of chinese systems that will be flooding the market.

aside if we could some how borrow a few cycles from all these devices we could finally cure cancer of some sh!t.

^^^^^It's gotta. every tom dick and harry right now.

Maybe those with more money behind them like ouya and madcatz may be successful but some of the others will surely sink.
