One of the issues I had with Android superphones, with their dual cores and their gigawhats is that there is just so much use for them. Android applications are mainly intended for the lowest common denominator, hardware-wise, and apart from a few 3D games and cool (but impractical) playback of HD video, you cannot use these additional cycles to really anything without really diving into the device settings. We know that these phones have the chops to run Playstation Games at least now if only we could use our Playstation controllers! Yes we can?
Yes, the Sixaxis controller allows you to use wireless controllers PS3 with Android phone or tablet, making your new Galaxy Tab or Xoom emulation paradise. Well, let's not overstate the case: PC will always be top dog in this area, but this tablet is a little more exciting for gamers.
Unfortunately, you must have root access to make it work, so it's not quite the plug-and-play, I'd like to. Controllers must be combined via USB, then you can have up to four controllers, occurs at the same time. X-Men arcade game, anyone? Analog is not supported yet, so keep this in mind if you want to try your hand at Mario 64 or the like.
