We spent some time with the device earlier this year at E3, and while the concept here isn't entirely unique, the execution seemed compelling enough. There's a 1,280 x 800-pixel 7-inch display, 2MP and 5MP cameras, 1GB RAM, 8 gigs of flash storage, HDMI output, 2 USB ports and support for up to 64GB microSD cards on board the Jelly Bean-powered slate. Pricing is set at $200 for the Media Edition, which includes a docking station and an air mouse controller with keyboard, and $250 for the Gaming Edition, which adds a game controller, making the Unu rig affordable enough to have broad appeal.

I like that the Unu game console tablet has a lot of official accessories like a docking syation, air mouse controller with keyboard. The Unu also has pretty good specs for a $200 tabket which is as good as other $200 tablets like the Kindle Fire. The 2 USB ports, HDMI output, 1GB RAM and MicroSD support is pretty nice.

This looks good for using as a multimedia player to play video and streaming video from YouTube, Netflix, and Hulu on the TV, or the tablet. The Air mouse keyboard also makes it convenient to search, and type on.

The idea for these seems to be rampant. This is usually a good thing but with a flood of the market this may NOT be good for any of these guys. It will make it appear as if they are all flops, but its just because a market saturation.

Most likely, Android consoles are being made by so many companies because they are not too hard to make because the parts for making Android consoles are parts like the Nvidia Tegra 4, Mobile Memory, Mobile flash storage, Micro HDMI and screens from tablets, smartphones, and settop boxes like how any PC company like Alienware, CyberPower, Falcon, Origin PC, etc can build  a Gaming PC with off the shelf PC parts from AMD, Intel, Nvidia, and MSI.

Also, a lot of these Android consoles don't need to convince developers to make games for their consoles because many Android consoles use the Google Play App store, and if the console maker use their own Android app store, they can convince Android developers to also upload their games to their App store by paying the developers more money or for each game sold on their app store. 

There are a large number of Android Smartphone, and Tablet brands, and now there is a large amount of Android game consoles because Google lets anyone use their operating system for free like how Microsoft lets anyone use Windows after they paid for a license, and have a  PC with Windows compatible parts like CPU, RAM, and video card.
