    I'm holding off buying one just yet. Aparantly people have been having big problems with the analogue joypad on it, and I'm going to wait at least until that's sorted. There's only two emulators of note for it too - one for the NES and the other for the Master System/Game Gear and both cost $20. I'm not sure about the Palm stuff that runs on it though.

    So, while it looks very very sexy, I'll be sticking with my trusty GP32 for the time being.

    I love my GP32 - it's probably the one console I spend the most time one, (including PS2, Xbox and GC). Playable GBA emulation will never happen, but the SNES stuff is great and getting better. OpenSNES9X is working wonders and while only about 30% of the games run at fullspeed with sound, they include gems like Super Punchout, Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Ultima 7, Soulblazer, Lufia and lots more - there's also a new version due out any day now. The only major problem with SNES emulation is the lack of buttons, but you can configure them GP32 buttons any way you want.

    There's also great fullspeed NES, PCEngine (my personal fav), Master System, Atari ST, C64, Spectrum and Gameboy Colour emulators, along with versions of Lucasart's SCUMM engine, Doom 1 & 2, and lots more. You should check out some of FAQ's over at
