ODROID, Android gaming device, ships soon

A few months back ODROID quietly started taking orders for what we can only assume is the lone gaming-specific Android device. Now its being reported that the orders should begin shipping with the next few days.

Only a handful of devices were made (limited to 300) and are aimed primarily at developers. The device ships with a debug board, usb cable, two batteries, schematics, a 2GB MicroSD card, and an 8GB SDHC card. ODROID is based on a Samsung S5PC100 833MHz ARM’s Cortex-A8 with NEON multimedia accelerator. One of the main selling points of the ODROID is the 720p output, which allows gaming and video playback on large external HDTV’s or monitors. Check out a handful of videos below:

While some of the features seem exciting, the website and device itself looks as if it may have been built in someone’s garage. If you are feeling adventurous, pre-orders are still open. Any of our readers out there order one of these things?
