The Los Angeles-based startup is developing a sub-$100, Android-powered video game console that offers free-to-play titles that currently dominate the smartphones and tablet gaming world. Ouya, pronounced "OOO-yah,"

Specifications:

Tegra3 quad-core processor
1GB RAM
8GB of internal flash storage
HDMI connection to the TV, with support for up to 1080p HD
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth LE 4.0
USB 2.0 (one)
Wireless controller with standard controls (two analog sticks, d-pad, eight action buttons, a system button), a touchpad
Android 4.0

Looks like this project is going to happen. Most of the reward levels are already sold out and they've already met their monetary goal with 28 days left to go.

Very intrigued by this too. Pledged for the console.

I am excited by this, I am also excited by the chance of someone porting the software and app store to phones. Many android powered phones out there could do this exact sae thing. Put this app store on it, the controller is wirelss, hook up to HDMI...win!!

All you need to carry with you is a small HDMI cable ad the controller and you have true portable console, plus all the retro gaming you could possibly want!

It does sound interesting. I will say that.
