GP2X preorder is available on the official website (http://www.gbax.com/). They are also selling the last of their GP32 units on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8219660888).
What the hell is a GP2X you ask? It's what the portable homebrew lovers have been waiting for (at least I am) - a powerful open gaming handheld.
It runs the free Linux operating system. This means a whole world of Games, Utilities and Emulators are at your disposal. Quake, Doom, SNES, Megadrive, MAME, Media players and Applications to name just a few.
It's powerful - Two 200mhz CPU's with 64meg of RAM, custom graphics hardware and decoding chips. Takes SD cards and has 64M of NAND memory. Plenty to play with. One of the most powerful and advanced handhelds today.
That means it can play movies without any re-encoding. Just put them onto an SD card. Any size. Any resolution. No messing about. The GP2X scaling chip will resize to fit the screen. No other handheld can do that.
It's cheap. Just £124.99.
The GP32 was a little overpriced, but this one... now we're talking.
