Droid X360 is the $114 retro-gaming tablet you always wanted

Now we’re proper excited. Android’s free right? So the only thing holding the world back from an ultra cheap Ice Cream Sandwich tablet is the price of the hardware, right? The Droid X360 is a US$115 tablet running Android 4.0, a 1Ghz CPU, 512MB RAM and 8GB internal memory. The best part, it looks almost exactly like the PS Vita and plays emulated games like a dream. Read on!

Budget tablets be damned, this thing practically channels the dirt bin. But ah, it’s got a touch of Chinese ultra-cheapy love which waxes our candles the right way.

We love the ripped off look of the PS Vita smooshed with a touchscreen. We can’t vouch for the quality of the device, obviously its going to be a plastic turd which falls apart in a year. But what a year it will be.

Here’s the main selling point, so forget about the negatives. It runs Android 4.0 and it plays emulated games. The NES, Sega Mega Drive, Super NES, Gameboy, Nintendo 64, Commodore Vic 20 and whatever else your retro heart fancies runs buttery smooth on this US$115 device. Look, touch and taste the magic of old school glory.

Want to get your grubby paws on the Droid X360? Then look to the Chinese importers and side-of-road car boot sales.
