Android tablet turned into a TV gaming console

The folks over at HDblog.it recently turned their Acer Iconia Tab A500 into a gaming system with the help of an Xbox 360 controller and an HDMI-cable connected to a 40″ Samsung TV. Their game of choice? The recently released Shadowgun.</div>

Your ears instead will be greeted by your favorite ringtone, an MP3 file of your choice, or for the connected model, how about an Internet radio station with your favorite shock jock digitally playing tunes in your bedroom?</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
That is what the Altaz Internet Clock Radio offers, and I managed to spend some time with it. One thing I can say though – if you are ever going to get to work on time, it is best not to switch alarm clocks overnight like me, chances are, you might not even wake up to be on time for work, as your ears have yet to be conditioned to the new sounds. Read on about the Altaz Internet Clock Radio hands-on after the jump.</div>
