How would you like to have the power of an Android tablet in your pocket? If you do then OMGDroid has a new and upcoming project for you. SkyWire has partnered with Equiso to bring a smart TV to everyone, with the power of Android and a double-sided, interactive remote.

 

 

 

 

Equiso has taken the time to build a device that is easy for you to take anywhere and enjoy with all of your family and friends. All you will need is a TV with an HDMI input and your remote, that you will get as part of the package, then you could be playing Angry Birds, Draw Something (Cliff that one’s for you), checking Google+, or anything else you might desire in no time.

The remote they have designed is like no remote you’ve ever seen before. On one side they have soft keys just like you would have on your phone or tablet for all the basic functions, as well as a built in accelerometer. Now I know what you are all thinking, what about the full keyboard on the other side? Well, Equiso has thought ahead and included a gyro sensor in the remote so it is aware of what ever side is facing down, thus having those buttons disengaged.

I currently have a Google TV set top box that I love, but for $70.00 you could have a Google Smart TV that you can take anywhere. So, if you are interested in this product then you need to head over to Kickstarter.com and become a backer. you will be supporting the development specifically for the TV interface, better integration will all of the apps in the Google Play store and large smart TV and gesture remote orders.
