GP2X - Sounds promising

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/GP2X - Sounds promising

2 AA last worlds longer than any thing you have built in with DS and PSP because 2 AA replaced with photo accu -> 2x 2200 mAh compared to this lousy 800 mAh of DS for example. Lets bet which one will last longer ... and on which is it simpler to have cheap and simple reserve power on you :-)

And 2x 2200 mAh cost 10$ or so + a cheap recharger, so no reason to waste money with regular batteries. Its not like on GB Color times anymore when rechargable bats were expensive and normally worse than normal bats.


My main minus on this handheld is the missing touch screen. I have some quite interesting ideas which just don't work without touch.

With DPad or stick they are next to undouable and even a mouse isn't a that intuitive solution.
And Dev for NDS is still its own thing ...
i wish they wouldn't make it that impossible and allow homebrew download from any wlan :-(

I think this kind of "no real worldplayer" consoles should start to become innovativ instead of mainstream crap that 3 others already have ... GP2x will life the same underground thing as GP32 did and as Gizmondo will most likely as well, just because they don't attract commercial game creators ...
