Gamevice is the latest gaming device that is unveiled from Wikipad, makers of the Wikipad 7 Android gaming tablet. This Gamevice is expected to come in to the market later this year but unlike the the Wikipad 7 it is not a gaming tablet, this is a physical controller for our Android devices.
Gamevice is a detachable analog gamepad controller designed bringing control to the mobile device give a full fledge mobile console experience with portable controller that can be connected to the mobile devices and users can enjoy the gaming. This Gamevice uses a flex bridge (as the company calls) design that expands or collapses in order to snugly fit around the mobile devices making the Smart Phones into handheld portable gaming device.
This Gamevice will feature dual analog sticks, an analog D-pad, L1/R1 and L2/R2 analog buttons and four analog action buttons. There is no word on the other specification of this device yet nor do we have any pricing or the release date of this device. The Gamevice is a controller with support for multiple mobile Operating Systems, like the Android and the Windows 8. The president of Wikipad also hinted that we might see iOS support in the future.
“We value the opinions of our community. We heard from many people who either expressed love for the Wikipad 7″ or who already owned an iPad or an Android or Windows 8 mobile device and wanted us to make a controller that worked for them, Wikipad president Fraser Townley said. “We are currently working on versions for Windows 8 and Android devices. We have not forgotten other important OS systems and we hope to announce additional support those in the near future.”
There was an OTA (Over the Air) update for Wikipad also with button mapping and Android 4.2 with some preloaded mobile games. What do you think of the Gamevice? Are you interested in getting this or still say with the older physical controllers? Stay with us for more updates.
