LOVE IT

2ND ACCT: LOVE IT

Yep.I knw my andriod phone can do most of this stuff,but it is better to have a special device for gaming.Bigger screen,great keypad love it too.

this stuff has been out for quite some time now

krugar07: this stuff has been out for quite some time now

Yea.maybe august if i am correct.This is a newer version.

Idrismusty97: Yea.maybe august if i am correct.This is a newer version.

i cant see any difference. and this definitely cant beat the ps vita

krugar07: i cant see any difference. and this definitely cant beat the ps vita

Lol,i thought of this too.the ps vital can even play ps3 games but andriod are gradually coming up.Andriod devices now have emulators for PSP games.I am using it

true

krugar07: true

Yea.you can also use other intresting android apps such as ZDbox,BBM,whatsapp and lots more.I think this is the major advantage of this pad over PSP.

it will be awkward doing any besides gaming on this game tab . just imagine typing with the on screen keyboard with the xtras getting in the way . coulda been better if they made the gamepad part detachable

It is also touch screen by the way.When you want to type it will bring out a QWERTY keyboard just like an android phone.You can also choose to play a game such as angry bird with the touchscreen or you can use the keypad.Its your choice.

hw much

physise: hw much

Its $174 approximately N28500.The highest you can get it is N30,000

Android games are not yet up to PSP games in terms of content. Only a few of then can be more engaging than endless runner types (Temple Run) or Angry birds. If I was looking for a gaming device i'd rather get a console or a PSP not an android device.

Hope you read what i wrote earlier.Any PSP lower than the PS vital has lost to android.

If you can quote where i compare it to PlayStation then i will confidently say my thread is useless/stupid or anyhow you choose to call it.I remember how you portray your arrogance in The top 10 mobile OS https://www.nairaland.com/1483966/top-10-mobile-operating-system
I told you arrogance will get you nowhere.It seems your arrogance has started to manifest its negative attributes.

ya i knw its touchscreen. if you read closer you ll see that i wrote ONSCREEN keyboard. Using a keypad for angrybirds , u must be kidding yourself!!!.

Idrismusty97: Hope you read what i wrote earlier.Any PSP lower than the PS vital has lost to android.

how can you say such. psp with a dedicated gaming engine, fully evolved games,.i repeat u must be kidding urself. n BTW its PS Vita not vital.

And did you read what OP said saying its a special device for gaming? In other words its a handhelded gaming device which is what a PSP is so I'd rather have a PSP simple.
