GP2X - Sounds promising

Jedive,
Thanks for the info. Appreciated.

I've been trying to interest Skids in it for a while, but no joy so far

I think between GP2X and BlitzMax there is a love affair waiting to happen. What with the whole open-source, Linux, included SDK, Amiga spirit, and Indie attraction. Chemistry I tell ya.

This site quote sums it up:

With a free GCC/Linux/Windows based compiler and SDK you really can begin to make software and games for nothing, not only that - we will offer source code and guides to getting started.

The real beauty is, the exact hardware is known.
