I actually heard in an office meeting today that BlackBerry phones are dead.

We usually 5 years behind the curve, lol

But if the speaker's source was accurate, android maybe coming to the corporate world sooner than first thought!

Looking forward to that.

There are already unofficial ways to manage Android handsets in just the same way BES handles Blackberry devices.

As soon as I can get some free time i'll set it up in the office.

Gametel Gaming Controller promises real gaming for Android gamers everywhere
« Reply #562 on: November 18, 2011, 02:31:09 AM »
Mobile gaming has been a fast growing market, especially since Apple's App Store propelled game companies and developers to dizzying heights once they'd gotten the ball rolling (Rovio's 51st title became pretty popular, you might know it).



So far however, the Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY has really been the only device with the mobile gamer truly in mind especially on Android. A new peripheral however, hopes to level the playing field somewhat with a classic D-pad, four button, shoulder button configuration, one that retro games will know and love.

Meet the Gametel Gaming Controller, maker Fructel's solution for mobile gamers who didn't opt for a PLAY but want a more engrossing mobile gaming experience on an Android device.

Designed to work on any droid running Eclair 2.1.1 and up, you can attach your device via the spring-loaded bracket on top, connect the controller via Bluetooth and you're away. With battery life said to be around the 9 hour mark, recharging shouldn't be too much of a hassle and the pad is already compatible with 50 or so titles already available on the Android Market.



With the hardware in most mid/high-end Android devices as it is now and with many of them toting HDMI or wireless output to a bigger screen too, this is just another step to making the phone a more serious gaming platform, a fact that the likes Sony and Nintendo's PS Vita and 3DS are no doubt very much aware of.

The Gametel Controller will retail for £49.95 (about $70) but won't be available until December. I'd suggest that the best challenge would be to put two mobile gamers head-to-head, one using an Xperia PLAY, the other using the Gametel with a best of three to the death, but maybe that's just my competitive gamer coming out.

What do you think? What kinds of gamers are you? Is the Gametel a worthy peripheral for the mobile gaming community, let us know your thoughts in the comments.

It has its own 250mah battery so it does not use the phone's power source.

It is using bluetooth.. so it will use phone's battery somewhat.

3.7 MILLION activations in two days?? Gadddd DAYMMMM!!

Its never been a better time to be an Android user. With the size of the present install base, developers and other supporting parties are tripping over themselves to make Android their number 1 focus. The result? More epic winnage for Android users!!!

Oh, I saw this, and just had to smile. :)

I wonder what certain 'anti-Android activists' have to say about that? 

I also wonder how many 'activations' happened on that 'other' so-called 'OS'?  [/lightfire] :laughing7:

I am happy to report that the MHL micro-USB to HDMI adaptor I recently acquired works perfectly with the SGS2, outputting 1080p video, with sound, to my HDTV.  :happy0203:

The only drawback?  It must be powered by the phone's charger.

How do you spell 'win'?  S-G-S-2  :laughing7:

Very impressive.

You gonna use it as a HTPC now?

Might make for an interesting "remote control"

It actually can be used as an HTPC. You can interface directly with a local file share and stream normal video files ANDDD you can attach a bluetooth mouse to it and have a cursor normel normel.

This can actually replace a pc for basic tasks!!
