	Set-top boxes have come a long way in a very short time. With the Apple TV you can stream any of your content straight from your iOS devices, and Google TV lets you interface with many of your apps on your HDTV. But, what any gamer can tell you is what these set-top boxes have been missing: An impressive gaming experience.

Looks like they made their funding goal ($1 million) within only 8 hours.

Pretty impressive.

Interesting... Following.

What I find most intriguing is only a 1 Gig of Ram?? Everything else looks good and reasonable for the specs & design decision. I just find the 1 Gig of ram really undercutting it. Ram is very inexpensive and throwing in a 4 gig stick would cost a manufacturer MAYBE 5 bucks per console.

The quad core is pretty impressive for a $99 dollar machine, but I think my next question would be what is the video card??

I still think it is a cool idea and will be following it, just found that one area strange and the other odd there is no specs listed.

1GB is fine for an android system, and increasing that ram isn't near as cheap as you think.

It's a Tegra so that is the GPU as well.

My concern is, will these still be Android/iOS quality games? Yes, there are some very unique apps out there, and games that look great for what they are, but they are hardly sit on your couch for hours on end experiences.

For cell phones and tablets, these games are fantastic, but I'd need a lot more to throw them on my big screen and give them precedence over my PS3.

My concern is what is the point if I already have a PC? Just to have a cheap, mod enabled console?

Thanks for the confirmation Burns, I am not familiar with Android or Tegra.
