Anyway, I think it's compatible with Maemo via the controllers PC Bluetooth HID mode.

It is because they are not next gen at all. My computer outpaces the new xbox (though not the ps4) and it costed less than these consoles, back in 2011 (2nd handed parts). It is almost 2014 so these types of deals have only gotten better, and the next-gen is already late.

Here's why:
-If you're going to rely on your phone to do the gaming, the box is useless
#The box is a top-set box

-Why buy games twice?
#I have a N900 as my main phone, and a Android tablet which shares the same account with this thing so only buying once.
I emulate on the N900 only.

-The controller is glossy, too clicky and in general cheap
#I havent used one yet, I'll let you know when I do, it's matt on the bottom, plus media controls, plus 3 BT HID modes, and moga pro feature, does it look cheap??

-The controller doesn't support many games, to change this its gonna take a while
#The controllers are programmed via the Android API using the ‘NVIDIA Tegra’ specifications, like the gamestick,etc been around for over a year now I guess.

-No, you can't map touch areas to buttons and joysticks
#You could via software, they have an app.. not sure what it does.

-The controller is significantly large, so its not pocketable and not "too portable"
#lol I wrote large pockets I removed that anyway

-If you're taking a controller of this size, taking a DSi or Vita is much better since you'll have access to REAL optimized games AND android because of your phone (2 better than 1?)
#true, I don't often play on the N900 (just because I can!), ie only for travel
Want it mostly for tablet tho

-If you don't want the alternatives, a Shield is much better because it feels high-end, won't drain your phone's battery as much and in general is more suited for gaming.
#why would the Shield drain the phone? lol
I dont like the shield, would rather my PSP or DSi etc.
But, i'm not into portables, I like old local multiplayer


So what's my personal take?
-They almost got it right, but off by a mile
-Mold the gamepad for maximum contour comfort
-Use expensive plastic methods (like PS4 controller), and add matte-grippy textures to hand resting spots
-Four shoulder buttons, two joysticks, no D-Pad (honestly) and add 3 action buttons around each joystick
-Universal HID connectivity to PC, Mac, iPhone, Android
-Mappable buttons/sticks to touchscreen (a la SIXAXIS App)
-Internal rechargeable battery (to recharge your phone), better if removable too
-Use USB for No-Lag connection, high-speed charging but offer BT pairing (NFC for autoconnect)
-Have HDMI-out (on the rear) from the gamepad
-Have a headset port (on the front) from the gamepad
-Have the ability for phone to connect to TV's via (higher-speed, stable) Miracast
-Perhaps a tiny HDMI dongle hidden in the back for Miracast (for dumbTVs)
-A fair price $99
-something a bit like this:
