Vectrex Mini interview - David Oghia talks up the nostalgic vector powerhouse

Having been wowed by the news of the Vectrex Mini at Gamescom , I rushed off some questions to VectrexOn's main man  David Oghia . After a post-event, well earned, break, he's kindly given us a lot of detail about the project and some new images of the unit to share.  His story mirrors mine somewhat, Vectrex represents a glowing, unaffordable, obelisk of gaming power from our youth! But he's had the energy and drive to do something about it, and met the right people to get the job done!  What first got you interested in Vectrex and what spawned the idea of a Mini version?

Sony Tablet Confirmed: Could Come With PlayStation Suite

I'd rather keep this site pure and focused on NGP and Xperia Play, but its worth mentioning that Sony is planning its own tablet to compete against the iPad, Androids and PlayBooks of this world. The Android 3.0 tablet should hit in the summer and will likely make use of some of the features in Sony's other product.

That would include Qriocity, the music service, PlayStation Suite offering PSone and other games. If it does ship with a Tegra 2 processor then it might even manage PS2 games, although that's probably Tegra 4 territory. What it won't have is the XMB interface which is rapidly falling out of favour as a user experience.

With all these tablets swamping the market, it will have to have something very special to stand out against the iPad 2, we'll see soon.
