Game streaming service Gaikai (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/gaikai) has teamed up with Wikipad to integrate its service into the "first tablet to offer an attachable, console-quality gamepad controller." Competitor OnLive offers a tablet option for game streaming, albeit via touch controls or a compatible gamepad.
Never heard of Wikipad? Join the club! The device was revealed at CES (http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/wikipad-ties-up-glasses-free-3d-with-games-controls-all-in-a-ha/), but has already gone through some changes since the original concept, including replacing the 8.1" version with a 10.1" screen, adding a quad core processor, lighter body and optional 3G for mobile. The launch date for the device is still a mystery.
