Android 4.0 Can Transform Your Galaxy Nexus Into a Full On Video Game Console

It looks like Android 4.0 just got a little sweeter. Thanks to confirmation from Google’s framework engineer Romain Guy’s Twitter account, we now know that Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) supports USB gamepads and HDMI. Basically, with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, gamers are able to hook up an external gamepad to a USB-to-microUSB adapter, connect it to theTV and presto- that beast of a smartphone transforms into a full on portable gaming console.

We’re sure that as soon as the eager developer community catches wind of this, we’re bound to see some interesting things result from it. Who’s ready for some killer Android gaming? Check out the screenshot of the SDK below.
