can anyone tell me the Wii U gamepad specs?

it has a 858x480 screen and gyros/accellerometers, infrared and NFC and stuff, but we don't know what kind of main chip(s) it has (and it has to have one as afaik it works while the console is in stand by or off)


So I assume you can't use it while on the road out and about?

maybe there are some very basic functions you could do with it on the road (clock; maybe some mini games like tetris or sudoku or sth like that which the gamepad can render by itself; notepad; camera ... only 1.3mp though; possibly mp3 playback, if it has built-in memory you can access), but it's not a fully equiped tablet pc, so there is no internet or phone access without the console and the Wii U games are streamed onto it via bluetooth from the console itself, so once you are out of reach you can't play them

additionally to it's influences on gameplay mechanics it's meant to be a hub for your living room, as you can use it as a remote control for your tv (and maybe for other devices aswell, don't know that much) via the infrared sensor
