Liked the video. Looks like a cool device. I dont like android as an OS though. If they made a windows 8 version, i'd be all over it(and if it had a bigger screen, 7-9 inch would be preferable. Does it do HDMI out? I didn't watch the whole video. That would be good for travel gaming as you could just hook it up to a tv in your hotel, or if your car has a tv into that. My biggest complaint about mobile gaming is the size of the screens and the controls.

Yeah it has HDMI out...but you essentially don't need it as it has miracast. You can get a miracast dongle for your TV and wirelessly transmit to it.


thats sweet. never heard of mira cast. do they have that for other devices too? i hate all the wires going to my tv sometimes. I have really been wanting to get a gaming type tablet but haven't had the money nor found just the right one yet. thanks for posting about this

Miracast is pretty much going to be a wireless standard that most devices will support. Every official Windows 8.1 device will come with it built in. It's based on Intel's WiDi technology and should start being widely implemented in to TV's this and next year. 

A lot of devices support it already but for now you have to buy a dongle for the TV to use it...

To be different and special, Google released that Chromecast dongle which does the exact same thing but is locked to google products and services and isn't compatible with miracast devices. We will see how that turns out.
