    Anyone bought one yet? Argos have them for 185.99.

    It has a 400mhz processor, 128bit graphics, games feature bluetooth gaming, and it runs some kind of OS, of which I can't remember.

    Pretty impressive for the price. Also, added to this, it has sms/mms/call functionality. So it's really like the new N-Gage. But at a really good price given its brand new and it has graphics that outstrip the Nintendo DS easily and comes close enough to the PSP. Here's a screenshot from Colors, a gang warfare game.

    Seriously thinking of getting one....

    Doubt it will have much support from developers though...

    hardly any developer support its counting on homebrew stuff to survive and I think i read somewhere that its gone or going out of business.

    Like the others said, there doesn't seem to be a lot of support for it. Also, there's a "widescreen" version coming out next year (to rival the PSPs screen I think) - so you might like to wait.

    Just wait til they are being discounted and pick one up then, pity there isn't a cash converters anymore, they would have been like a main dealer in such things.

    with any luck, it'll go GP32 and thrive on homebrew/ports, and there *might* be a couple of big name franchises at release, and that will be that.

    without... think of it as a portable Atari Jaguar :D
