Would you really like to play Angry Birds on your television? Envizions Computer Entertainment Corporation has announced the planned fall release of its EVO 2 console, which repackages Android for a significantly larger small screen.
A press release reveals that the console, which will retail for $249, contains a Samsung 1.2 GHz processor, 512 MB of DDR2 memory and a modified Android 2.2 operating system.
The package will also include an EVO TV remote, a game controller and an HDMI cable, which is one more HDMI cable than any of the other currently available gaming consoles pack into the box.
EVO 2 is an open console and gamers can modify any part of the system. New updates and upgrades will be released periodically after the system launch. Developers can get a jump now, ordering a free console dev kit to work with provided they’re will to commit to an annual $149 support fee for each. Developer fees and royalties are waived for the first 1000 developers. Developers can also submit pre-existing Android games.
The EVO 2 is the first of its kind, a dedicated console that ports the mobile gaming experience to your TV. There will apparently be some kind of system in place by which players can earn points which can be converted to EVO tokens. These tokens are then used to purchase “premium Android games for free.”
EVO 2 earlier adopters can pre-order the system at http://store.envizionsinc.com from the Envizions online store.
