Just wondering what version of android operating system this will be
running/operating on, and, if it's 4.x or later - ice cream sandwich - will
it also enable the use of things like talkBack and speakOn, along with being
a more open developer platform..?
Stay well

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Ouya: a new,Android-based open platform gaming
console.
Hi Yohandy,
As a developer I definitely think the Ouya project has promise. They
have decided to build their technology on an open source platform,
based it on open source standards, and opened the platform up to
independent developers. This is good because the indi developers have
been locked out of the console market for far too long simply because
the big boys like Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have absolute control
of what gets developed and published for their respective consoles not
to mention require expensive licenses to develop for their platforms.
Apple's iOS devices are more open to indi developers, but even there
it goes through a board who approves or rejects the app based on
quality and standardization.It looks like Ouya will allow an old
hacker like myself to code whatever I want and run it on the console
without all that hassle. So it shows promise.
Cheers!

Check this out guys! What do you guys think the implications will be for
blind gamers? Is this what we've been waiting for? If some good games
come
out for it I'll be buying it, it's only $100 after all, but I'd love to
read
what you guys think of this. If you're a dev and you have questions,
it'll
probably be best to contact the devs before this thing comes out early
next
year. Here's the kickstarter link. It's only been live for 1 day, and
already it's surpassed the funding goal, which is totally amazing!
