(MOD)EVO-Tainment Gaming System

Heres about the craziest but cool idea i've seen for the EVO yet,check out this device,if you love to game,this is for you,its called "EVO-Tainment".....
If you liked the idea of the EVO-Tainment gaming system but thought the execution was rather unwieldy, then check out G&E reader bradleyw801's more streamlined version of the handheld rig that mates an HTC EVO with some Wii controllers.Hes named it the EVOcade and if you want to make one for yourself, bradleyw801 has kindly put together a quick tutorial and a video to show and tell you how to do it.
Here's what you need to make your own EVOcade rig:
•Rooted HTC EVO 4G with wiimote app
•Wii Remote
•Wii Classic Controller Pro
•Nyko Classic Controller Grip - only the clear plastic piece is used since the Pro controller already has grips
•Windshield mount for EVO - no universal solution for this, but here's a low-profile option to consider
•Super Glue
•Something to use as a spacer - bradleyw801 bought a roll of magnetic strip, cut/shaped it with a razor knife, and used it to fill gaps and provide more contact for the Super Glue
Heres a "How To Video"

Proving that HTC EVO 4G owners are a creative, resourceful, and somewhat wacky bunch, a fellow by the name of Jack Malone has gone ahead and created this crazy-looking thing he calls the EVO-Tainment.
WFB Gadgets has plans to get an "injection molded plastic version of this system" made for all the EVO gamers out there who like to buy things off the shelf, but DIYers can replicate this Frankintendo (that's Frankenstein and Nintendo, by the way) creation out of a universal GPS mount, modified Wii racing wheel, Wii classic game controller, Wiimote, and some velcro by themselves. Since getting something like this mass-produced, even on a small scale, won't happen overnight, interested parties should feel free to take on the project and maybe see if they can get the EVO-Tainment to level up in the Design Worlds or something.

I bought this when it first came out. It was really a cool idea. I ended up changing out the holder because it was too big..
All in all i loved it, its still around here somewhere...

A500 being used as a scale

This has nothing to do with anything really, just a neat thing I saw today that I thought I'd share.
Today I went to a sub shop(Jersey Mikes) in my town, which I don't normally go to cause its on the other side of town, and as I was standing there ordering I noticed the meat slicer dude was weighing the meat on a USB scale of some sort which was plugged into an A500 covered in plastic wrap. Other than the momentary "oh cool, I got one of those" I didn't think too much about it until I sat down to eat. I mean, considering the price of the tablet, coupled with the price of the scale attachment, it would be cheaper to buy just a digital food service scale I would think. So I'm wondering why. Maybe they somehow use it for inventory control or something, I don't know. But anyway, I thought it was cool to see one of our tablets being used for more than just watching cats on Youtube or whatever.
rofl... that's extravagantly terrific.
Of course, now we'll need pictures.
You'll be suprised what companies have apps for android devies for interface.
Seen the scales as well, they conenct via wifi to update product weights.
They have DJ interfaces (get a good screen protector for yoru fingers don't drag).
Househould security control, theater control, and light control bundles with the APK's for 2.3, 3.1+, and 4.0
Canon has there app so yo ucan scan from pritners, and print right to printers from phones and tabs. (believe Kodak does as well).
Medical interfaces for variosu medical soft. Even Mcallister is releasing the Android 4.0 itnerface for Avimark for veterinary hospitals.
I thought you meant they use the A500 to scale, not plug in a usb scale attachment. I was wandering how, use the digitizer to sense weight? COOL!!!! They might have a reason for that because A500 can record the weights.

Sony Smartwatch 2

Sony just revealed their smart watch 2. It has a 1.6 inch screen, is NFC enabled, water resistant, has Bluetooth 3.0 is said to work with most android phones, and can run on moderate use for four days, or up to a week. As far as software, if untethered from a phone, you can still see the time, use alarms and a flashlight app, but you will still have to be tethered to run any other apps, which have to be downloaded from the phone like the original. It has an aluminum body with a stainless steel wrist strap that can be swapped for any 24mm strap, and has a micro usb port for charging. It is being released in September
Sorry, but because I am a new user I can't link to it, but the Sony Xperia YouTube channel has an official video, and many sites including Engadget and C-Net have reported on it.
I'm waiting on this

2017 controller phone clip?

Now the new shield controller has Bluetooth . I'd love to be able to get a phone clip that attaches to the controller to play games on my OnePlus 3T on the go . Anyone have any ideas?
Update ! Prototype 1 is made lol . Anyone can suggest a better option . I know it ain't pretty ,but it's definitely functional
Look around the net. There were some pretty nice contraptions made out of wire (similar to yours) for the Sony's Dualshock 3 (from the PS3). There was also one made out of huge paper clips, but I don't think it will fit the Shield's controller.

Here's the cheapest way to prevent over heating on the Amazon Fire TV Stick

I sh!t you not, this crappy rig I came up with on the fly actually worked.
