MG Android gaming handheld now available to pre-order for $150, ships early November
Posted in: Today's Chili 
When we first laid eyes on the MG, it was an ambitious effort that hoped to bring Android 4.0-powered gaming to the casual masses through the hit-and-miss world of crowd funding. Though its Kickstarter efforts were a bust, its creators have managed to get this project off of the ground and are now accepting discounted pre-orders at $150 until November 4th — after that, the price will climb to a full $170. All pre-orders are expected to ship during the second week of November. As a refresher, the MG features a 4-inch WVGA display, a 1GHz Cortex A5 processor, a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage and an 8GB microSD card. It’ll also accommodate up to 64GB cards, should you ever hit a wall. Sporting a design that’s reminiscent of the Tapwave Zodiac, the MG will ship pre-loaded with several “freemium” titles and will have access to Google Play’s massive library of games. So, if you’re looking to wean your younger sibling off of your high-end smartphone, the MG could be the stocking stuffer that gets the job done this holiday season.

If you’re in the market for a relatively affordable Android device for gaming or entertainment for yourself or your kid, then this device by the name of MG might be one that you’ll want to place a pre-order for. Priced at $149, it’s not the most powerful Android device we’ve seen lying around, but given that it comes with parental controls, preloaded games (NBA Jam, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, Homerun Battle 2 and etc.), and free $10 credit to the Google Play store, it might be worth picking up for your kid as a Christmas present. So what sort of specs are we looking at here?
