Evo 2 will carry a pricetag of $249 and will have the ability to bring Android mobile games to your TV. The gaming console, which sports a Samsung 1.2 GHz processor with a 512 MB RAM, will be running a modified Android 2.2 OS. The package will include a remote, a gaming controller and an HDMI cable.
A 3D motion sensor is in the plans as well. The company also mentions implementing a feature that allows players to earn EVO tokens. These EVO tokens can be used toward the purchase of new premium Android games.

Will the fact that this is an “open console”, be enough to give this an edge over other options in the gaming market? Is it just a gimmick? Apparently the first edition sold out 2009.
