My GP2x was waiting for me when I got home from work yesterday.
I haven't had much time to play around with it yet though. So far I have played some MP3s, two AVI videos - the first encoded using DivX v5 and the other in xVid, and installed and played Quake and Hexen.
I am impressed so far. A lot of initial teething problems - which seem firmware related - have been reported on the various forums but, as of yet, I haven't encountered any of them.
I was torn between getting a PSP or a GP2x but in the end I ended up getting both. I am glad I did this. They may both be handhelds but, in my opinion, they are aiming at slightly different market. The PSP is a games machine with multimedia functionality whereas the GP2x is more aimed at an open source portable media centre which is attractive to homebrew developments.
