A lot of people here in the Switch forum already have Switches. You can still buy an unpatched Switch if you try hard enough and possibly are willing to spend enough.
And the reasons why someone might want to run Android on a device that has a bigger screen than their phone and has gaming controls are um... because of the bigger screen and the gaming controls. Did you know you can use a Switch on a TV too using the dock?

Good times ahead for the switch.
Probably it has a brighter future than mine xD. Jokes aside though i could picture how well an android port to the switch would fare. I bet it could outperform most of today's mid range smartphones and tablets. and not to mention how many emulators could run well on this benefiting from it's CPU.

An Android phone would be great for gaming if you didn't have to use crappy touch screen controls to where your hand takes up 90% of the screen

The gamevice controllers are pretty good, essentially joycons

Let me guess, with Storage that is limited to 4, 8, 16 or 32GB? Not to mention some accept MicroSD Cards of equal Limitation of up to only 32GB? Makes you wonder if these Idiot System Devs ever found out they do make 64GB+ Storage Options for both eMMC and MicroSD.......with the latter being up to 512GB and now even 1TB

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.
