“When Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, was first released they included game controller support within the framework and that is when we decided to build the Archos GamePad tablet,” says Henri Crohas, Archos Founder and CEO. “Thanks to the mapping and automatic game recognition systems included on the Archos GamePad tablet, we already have over a thousand android games compatible with the Archos GamePad’s physical controls, including back catalog titles that originally didn’t include physical controls,” continued Crohas.

Some leading game developers have already embraced the physical controller support that was introduced with ICS rendering their apps compatible with the physical controls of the Archos GamePad Android tablet or with game controllers plugged into tablets or phones. However many games for tablets originally did not include physical control mapping, which is why Archos developed their mapping and game recognition tool; a patented technology that allows any virtual controls to be mapped the GamePad’s physical control buttons.
Archos Android tablet price & availability
Until now, Android tablets provided gamers with touch controls that lacked response and compatibility for their advanced games, providing a disappointing gaming experience. As one of the main tablet uses, there is a strong need for a tablet that does more for gaming. Thanks to the complete touch and physical controls of the Archos GamePad gaming tablet, Gamers can enhance their experience starting at the end of October 2012 for a price less than € 150. |
