I've seen people jumping to attack this, mainly because since they work on console games exclusively they see it as a threat, but with iOS and Android games obliterating the handheld market...putting them on a TV could work out well.

Any chance of this becoming a decent emu box?

is that basically it's whole sales point? 

"ANDROID, OPEN SOURCE, CROWD FUNDED....[and oh yeah psst, that means you can load up all your emulators on it]"

this thing is an interesting lawsuit waiting to happen.  I'm surprised at all the "legit" retailers that are carrying it.

Get these on Radio Shack shelves and they will sell by the dozens.

Wii is already pretty easy to turn into an emu box. If Ouya can do more than that it'll do well for retro types I guess.

This thing is actually coming to market? Color me surprised...

might be decent for an emu box, or if FF Dimensions ever gets a port with control pad functionality, but I'm in no rush to get one.

The PSP seemed to do okay, I wouldn't worry too much.
