Android emulator development should pick up real fast after this is released...

Funny how we make all this progress and pack a ridiculous amount of processing power in a handheld device, only to then put in a bunch of extra effort just so we can play Super Mario World on yet another device.

maybe it's just the way they cropped the pictures, but it doesn't look right.

It should be trivial to run the built-in official 'console' software on another Android phone (with adequate hardware specs), correct?

That is hot... now I have to resolve the hotness versus my disgust with Sony.

From my experience with the PSP they can't get mobile gaming right.

From my experience with the X10 they can't get Android phones right.

I dread to think what the two together will be like.

Should pick up? What system do you want emulated that there isn't already a great emulator for?

I agree with you on the X10, but I feel the PSP does some things very well for hardcore gaming. Sure it isn't as populist as the various phone and DS games out there, but I still find the God of War series on the PSP to be one of the most vivid mobile gaming experiences around.

Hopefully the Playstation team is able to finally give a good skin to Android.

I would say I have faith in Sony making buckets of money selling emulated Playstation games, but the PS3 Store has been a disaster. They had every opportunity to have an App Store before there was an App Store, but they blew it. And still continue to blow it.
