The Wikipad has had quite a ride. In January, it was a small no-name Android 4.0 tablet with an unproven processor, a glasses-free 3D screen, an optional game controller attachment, and a sub-$250 price. Eight months later, the likes of Sony and Nvidia are backing a rather different Android 4.1 gaming slate that will retail at brick and mortar GameStop stores for $499.

Perhaps most importantly, the company says it will have game support, and not just the standard Android kind. GameStop has pledged to include exclusive "full-length game titles" with the tablet, and company CEO James Bower tells us that the video game retailer is negotiating to bring games from traditional game publishers, though he couldn't say which ones. The device is also among the few non-Sony devices that is PlayStation Certified, which means PlayStation Mobile titles will be available at some point.
