Envizions, a small upstart company in Alabama, has announced they will be shipping the Evo 2, an Android-based gaming console, sometime in the fall.

The Android console will sport a 1.2GHz Samsung processor, a "modified" version of Android 2.2, a game controller, and a TV remote control. There are plans to add a motion sensor a la Wii later in the year.
The console will cost $249, and you will be able to purchase games with "Evo tokens" an online credit system. The Envizions store is accepting pre-orders for $15, and you can get a hold of a developer console for $149.

I don't know what to expect from Envizions; they don't have much of an established track record outside of a linux console release 2 years ago, but I really like the sound of Android making its way onto other platforms.

No word on the naming similarity to our beloved HTC Evos.

Omg, wow, this could really be cool for mobile gaming.

I scoured the internet looking for any information on their previous system that they created however it seems it was not that popular. I would have loved to see someone review that system, but I'm guessing they are a "needles in the haystack".I believe that this time around though the Evo 2 will have more success with such a large HTC user-base.

This isn't a mobile device and isn't an HTC product. I feel you guys might have missed that. Reportedly, Envizions' first Evo "sold out". I don't know what that means; I certainly never knew anyone who bought one. They seem to be a pretty small operation, but they are going to get a lot of press with the name and the use of Android for gaming.

Yeah. If Apple sued Amazon over using "App Store", I don't see how this one doesn't go to court.
Who knows, maybe this company registered the trademark years before HTC, but an Evo-Android system, come on!

I don't know about this. I think Microsoft, PlayStation and Nintendo dominate the market so there's probably not a lot of room for Android. Plus I don't really see it doing anything unique.

I cant wait to buy this phone. I saw the commercial and it looks so Hi-tech and cool.

My mistake... I saw the word "Evo" and made an illegimate connection, I really thought this was an HTC product it would have been cool if it was though.

Well this is a good idea but isn't it a little hard to play games that are touch screens and those with accelerometers? I really haven't played in an emulator before so I really have no idea what to expect.
