Is it a Vita? Is it an Android? No - it's another weird Chinese mash-up

Emulation fans (in China): start salivating

Is it a Vita? Is it an Android? No - it's another weird Chinese mash-up

| Droid X360

We secretly quite like some of the devices the Chinese electronics firms come up with, even if they are massive rip-offs of existing designs, forced together like a crazed tech nerd's fever dream.

This latest one, called the Droid X360 (would you believe), is particularly striking, as it blends an obviously ripped-off-from-the-Vita shell with a 1.5GHz machine running Android 4.0.

It doesn't have the PS Vita's innovative touch panel on the back ("thank god!" - everyone with big hands), but it does have 8GB of internal storage, something Sony apparently couldn't manage to squeeze into the real McCoy.

It also comes with a very Nintendo-esque D-pad, something law-abiding - sorry, 'most other' - manufacturers can't get away with due to Ninty's long-standing patent.

Check the Droid X360 out in the gallery above (or, indeed, below).
