This looks pretty cool! Yet another "gaming" device...
The rundown:
The screen has grown three inches to 10.1", with a resolution of 1280 x 800. The company is holding off for now on the no-glasses 3D display it showcased at CES, but it's hard to believe many game developers would have gotten behind that feature anyway. The specifications announced today should pretty well guarantee support for existing and near-future Android games.
The Wikipad will run Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) on an NVIDIA Tegra 3 T30 with 1 GB of DDR2 RAM. The 1.4 GHz T30 is a bit faster than the T30L (1.2 GHz) in Google's Nexus 7, and not quite as powerful as the T33 in the forthcoming Ouya (1.6 GHz). The Wikipad's full-featured controller attachment (along with its standard multi-touch display) should make it a bridge between these more common Android gaming platforms, with full support for each control scheme.

The name of this item must be a joke.

It looks like a big fat fail to me: it's not really portable, it's too big and awkward to hold for long stretches with the control pad thing attached, and the price will likely be much more than a 3DS or Vita (maybe as much as a WiiU).
