It was very interesting to see the video game retailer GameStop began accepting used IOS launched as part of the payment, pay for them with store credit or cash. But does that give in Apple’s official platform of GameStop? Actually, no!

In an interview with gaming industry GameStop President Tony Bartel said that it was decided to launch a gaming platform in an official tablet, which runs on Android. This GameStop certified platform gaming tablet will be in market next year. Bartel didnot suggest the name of any device that the company has recovered, but only mentioned that with so many devices on the market will not put much effort into making a new one.

What they have created is actually a command that is paired with an iPhone and an application that supports streaming of games for the iPad. The streaming service is already in the first test and GameStop seems to be working on console titles streaming. They are now trying to encourage developers to add driver support for their games.
