It has more ram than current generation consoles, otherwise it's relatively underpowered.
It is running android which can be a blessing and a curse. NDK development hasn't been that enjoyable in my experience, but a dearth of programmers are already familiar with the OS and Ouya's goal is to attract independent developers(all the major consoles are relatively difficult to break into as an indy developer unless you're fine with living on the indycade on the 360).
So pros: ram and low barrier of entry both for developers (open platform) and users (it costs $99)
Cons: slow
Thank you! Would be happy to post more details about how it works if that post isn't clear enough. The source should be readable enough, but it's a bit messy (I'll blame it on the hackathon time constraint).
Admittedly off-topic, but when is Google going to improve the design of their internal blogs?
Yeah, I know that sort of thing isn't their focus, but this is just painful. At first glance it looks like an unprofessional, unpolished website. If nothing else, a bit more line-height and some strategically-placed padding!
I have a feeling we'll start to see a switch away from Google's official blogs to instead their official Google+ pages. Which is kind of a shame since I like RSS, and going through archives, etc.
Also, the company google pages linked to in the article only display here as empty white page without js, even though html source shows a lot of html and javascript. Or is it my adblock preemptively blocking entire company page? :)
