Heres some tasty info from the article:
It will have quad-core Tegra 3 and 8GB of storage running Android 4.0. The emphasis is on free-to-play gaming and an all-important $99 price, the system is a gamble by a handful of game industry luminaries that at least a subset of players are frustrated with the status quo enough to want a real break. Ouya also wants the software to be truly open, as it's running Android 4.0 with an unlocked bootloader. Modifying the OS won't even void the warranty; if there's ever a version of CyanogenMod for the Ouya, it won't spoil your chances of getting a replacement unit. While the 802.11n WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 onboard are primarily for Internet access and peripherals, an SD card slot and a USB 2.0 port are as much there to foster the community's development as to leave room for more storage and future peripherals.
Personally I think this could do very well, its cheap and got enough power to satisfy the average gamer but in the right hands this could an emulation dream. Theres already a lot of emus running on Android and people have got the Wii, PSX and more type controllers working too via bluetooth. It'll probably never get off the ground but I'd buy one . . . . especially if someone could get Coinops working on it
