The ODROID might not look like much, but to be quite blunt it's about the most exciting use of the Android operating system we've seen.

This multimedia device has the same CPU as the iPhone 3GS beneath its touchscreen, but also packs in the physical button controls that Apple's handheld lacks.

The Korea-based manufacturer, Hardkernal, has just sent us another video of the ODROID in hot gaming action. This time playing the high octane retro shooter Super Megaforce (also known as Super Aleste, if memory serves (and I'm even thinking about the right game)).

We can see the game being played using the D-pad, which lends it a far more arcadey, consoley feel, and looks pretty sweet when played full screen on the telly.

Yes. Spanner's his real name, and he's already heard that joke you just thought of. Although Spanner's not very good, he's quite fast, and that seems to be enough to keep him in a regular supply of free games and away from the depressing world of real work.
