E3: The Conny M2 Handheld Console

Not all of the consoles present at E3 this year were made by Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft–only roughly 99.9-percent of them. There was another console manufacturer on the show–Conny, a Chinese company was showing off a handheld called the M2, which, if the press material is to be believed stands for “multi-games, multimedia.”

The device has a 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen, which can be used with a finger or the included stylus. There are two cameras on the rear of the device–one for stills and one for video. The handheld can also play video and music. There’s also a built in accelerometer. Players can affect games by shaking the device or turning.
Perhaps the coolest thing about the M2 is that users can plug the console into a TV and use the device as a gesture-based controller for the action on screen.

The device ships with 100 games. More are available for download. The M2 has yet to come to the States, but Conny says it’s working on it.
