iConsole.tv - A New Android Console, Strange But Powerful

[Athlor]

I spotted yet another Android game console but this one is much more powerful and expensive. It uses a 3.3ghz x86 cpu, 8gb DDR3 ram and has two 500gb hard drives. Expect this to cost as much as the PS4 and Xbox One.

Just a way to remind consumers that they are bringing Android to the TV.

Just a way to remind consumers that they are bringing Android to the TV.

^ Basically that's right.

Frrom wikipedia:

The domain name .tv is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the islands of Tuvalu.
Except for reserved names like com.tv, net.tv, org.tv and others, any person may register second-level domains in tv. The domain name is popular, and thus economically valuable, because it is an abbreviation of the word television.

Well a PC in a box.
Spec's sound like either they are going to downgrade big time or make it really expensive!

[Manaurys]

It's as big as my home pc

[CaptainCapslock]

I doubt this will be a success, really. Simply because it's going to be way too expensive for most consumers.
Besides, if you ARE going to pay $499 or something like that, why not just get an XBOX or PS4? I think this product will have a hard time entering the market simply because of its price.
