Thats a great device but I have a few reasons why I didn't get it yet...

- already own a GP2X Wiz, this is pretty much the same thing

- Its 500 dollars and the order wait time is like 6 months.

- Gaming aside, Linux is great if you're looking to spend time on forums to get things to work. I am not in that stage of my life anymore. Just needs things to work with minimal effort. Things like Outlook email, web browsing with VPN access, 6 guitar pod recording...etc

- Kinda fugly and not very portable imo

looks ok

good for you!

yay my 3000th post! lol

Design wise, this is the best eletronic agenda from the 80's to be released in 2011.

lmfao, it looks like a mini netbook

Looks aside, this is the worlds most powerful gaming handheld till NGP or OCS1 above come out. These guys didn't cut corners when they made that unit as they wanted to make an ultimate handheld portable.

Just know that I'd feel differently if it was more on the lines of Windows 8 instead of 7. Not to mention a Tegra 2 would prolly outperform that new Intel chipset even if it was running Windows games.

I as well hope and wish they gave this more horsepower, but I can't deny that concept is badass. You should be able to install windows 8 on this device when it comes out :)

Interesting. 

Not for me though, give me 3DS please.

Not incredibly.  But after buying many a handheld, I can tell you that double D-Pad control style is going to be crap.

Edit:  And as others have stated, if you're going to buy a handheld for gaming plus computer functionality, your best bet would be to go with the Pandora, as it was designed with that in mind.  I can tell you that would handle like a dream controlwise.
