Google announces Android OS 3.1, works with 360/PS3 controllers

Google has just announced Android OS 3.1 and brings with it a range of improvements and refinements, such as letting you take advantage of a "ridiculous" number of USB devices, even including Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 controllers. It's a nerd's wildest emulators dream comes true.

that will be big profit for Sony,as ya know tons of Android users will plan to get Sony's Playstation Suite app and that'll likely be compatible with their controllers.

BubbleSniper5487d ago

More and more Sony + Google information is trickling out.

I am really interested in knowing what their future plans are in thorough detail.

bnaughty5487d ago

wow, can we install android on our PS3 too, ahahaha, im just kidding! :)

Soldierone5487d ago

WTF! We Cant! now im hacking Sony and bringing down PSN! MY DOS ATTACKS START TOMORROW! This is what happens when you take away my Android on PS3!!!!

lol sarcasm

KingPin5487d ago

you joke about it now, but i just had a thought now reading your comment. the hackers are fussing over sony removing one feature <other OS> and they bitch and moan saying sony took away features they paid for. but when sony keeps updating firmware and giving them new features like 3D support and stuff, they dont complain. those are features they didnt pay for. if sony left them with what they paid for, theyl still nag and say sony isnt supporting their console. lol

makes you wonder......will hackers ever be happy? i highly doubt it!!

Vitalogy5487d ago

@KingPin hackers will always find something pick with no matter what. If sony re-added otheros again, those kids would start wining for something else it's in their nature, they didn't had enough attention when little (not that they're grown ups now LOL) and this is their way to claim some.

Who5487d ago (Edited 5487d ago )

@ bnaughty

Well this is awkward. lol.

edhe5487d ago

If you still had OtherOS then yes, you probably could have installed the linux derivative OS android - and probably upgraded it to be like the googleTV honeycomb 3.1 variant designed for tellies also.

Pretty cool idea that, otherOS.

SolidStoner5487d ago

nice, Im sick from using my PS3 controler on PC.. they are such a pain to connect.

Viper75487d ago (Edited 5487d ago )

Tried using the MotioninJoy driver? works pretty well with that, especially if you are using the emulate X360 controller (oddly some games seem to require this)

chidesd5487d ago

I dont get it a PS3 controller would prolly connect to my tab or phone via bluetooth but hows the 360 controller going to connect?

kharma455487d ago

I'd presume only the wired ones will be supported.

Sheddi5487d ago

Dont know...maybe u'll have to use the wire.

chidesd5487d ago

360 uses usb doesnt it smart phones dont have usb ports only micro and mini ports

Sheddi5486d ago

I bet there are some converters out there for USB to Micro usb :P

Rashonality5487d ago

at last, a move that really improves gaming on tablets, that virtual analog crap is an insult.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle20d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7720d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.

jznrpg22d ago

But all of the great games have been made by humans

jwillj2k422d ago

One is by choice, the other is a feature.

PRIMORDUS22d ago

Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.

CrimsonWing6922d ago

It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
