The Imitation Of The Gp2x Is Wandering About


From the company it is developed tus it does in commerce objective

Only escape one it did not pass, already it appeared

The support is insufficient from the company

It used the Source anyway and motion it developed without from the company tus it wants

There is not a linux developer in the personal developer

how fast ist the processor of this device?
Oh come on are you even suggesting that you would buy it if it was greater than the GP2Xs can you imagine the battery life?

I like GPH and I love my GP2X and my GP32 but I am interested in other products as well as long as their producers follow a strict open source policy. I just checked out the odd-i website, the device looks promising although I do not like the camera and the fact that they are copying GPH.

I do not think that the GP2X has got more buttons than the odd-i. EDIT: The GP2X got more buttons. The odd-1 has no shoulder buttons and no start/select buttons

And what the battery life concerns: Pocket PCs have much faster processors without having battery life problems. Therefore, a faster processor does not mean necessarily that you end up as a battery jockey.

Hey, it's cool. WHere can I buy that thing?
If it is compatible, I like it. ;)

Even though, the peeps are right, the batetry time would be awful if it doesn't have lithium-ion accu in it... a good one... :)

From their website is this:

Lithium Polymer(???) ????: 3?? 30?
??: 2500mAh

heh heh, bubuchas posts are way cool. your english is very good! I cant speak another language so pat yourself on the back for speaking two!

If you read post 1 in the topic about the odd-i in a YODA accent it could be believed to be that bubucha is actually yoda himself! risen from the dead or maybe not.. bubucha? is that really you yoda?

anyway, im not going to buy an imitation coz i got the real thign baby yeah!!!
 
I think the point he was trying to make about battery life was not the faster processor (if it has one) but rather the 20 gig HD. That would seriously suck up battery life especially with the processor concerns and digital camera. This thing sounds pretty cool but I don't like the look of it. I always thought the GP2x would be the ultimate device if it had a hard drive and wifi too. The camera I could care less about.

Haha, they've got a crappy looking joystick on that one, too :p

Anyhow, I think part of the point bubucha was trying to make is that they did very little in terms of developing an OS for it. Since the GP2X OS is Linux-based and therefore open source, it's conceivable another company could just re-use it with very minor changes. Kind of sucks for GPH, but as long as the odd-i team release their own source code, there's nothing really wrong with it..

And a 20GB hard drive would rock. Hmm, maybe I should think of a HD mod for my GP2X..
 
omg that thing looks smooth.. too smooth to game on i guess, and with a hd and camera the price must be beyond that of the psp, at least. but still a nice (prototype) device :p
 
Indeed. If the Odd-I is using Linux then they'll have to release THEIR source which could HELP the GP2X. Ultimatly the Odd-I if anything is more like the rumored "F200" just not from GPH.

As much as this could be a threat to the GP2x, The GP2x is a threat to it.

The beautiful face but this leads and the compiler it is a thing which talks it reveals, (from English which is born thwul all)

The odd-I the product which is with the GP2X quite similarity is will reveal the thing.

The odd-I from first the OpenSource the Emul of recent times GP2X when it does not pursue to be famous came the OpenSource is it professed abruptly

Reasoning it was caused by and motion of the manufacturer MAME v1.0 Poting it did without.

With only this the problem does not become but

The problem produces from the company grudge tus

This motion of the manufacturer used talks the thing with commercial business objective without

When seeing with tendency, that in the future the GP2X Porting is possible in the commercial business objective which is insensitive, it seems..

The GP2X continues to respect, the Source the civil official is necessary

Once it talks again but uses the thing form is not bad. But the enemy it copies the machine with effort, when it uses, it sees as crime enough.

Now odd-I from GP2X takes an effort is showing the conduct with effort.

It will close it but from the company and a talent there is not

When this mind to distribute the Source it does it fades


Is this guy using Bablefish to post his words in english?

Could be, because thats what korean looks like once translated into english.

Clearly the languages do not share many similarities.
(I always get hilarious results from babblefish...it babbles indeed!)
 
Korean programmers are porting Gp2x apps/emus with open source code to Odd-i. MAME for Odd-i was a direct port from Gp2x version, I heard. It uses the same Magic Eye MMSP2 chipset and 64mb RAM. However, it's got 20/30GB harddrive and 2500mah rechargeable battery (3 hours 30 minutes movie playback time :) ). It's got radio and 2M camera functionality. TV-Out is supported, so it's a cousin to GP2x in many ways. One nice thing, I thought, is that it's got TV-in function so that you can record movies/TV programs. Also, with USB2.0, people connect PC joypad to it to play games. It's more than twice more expensive then GP2x, so it's not in the same market.
 
Another funny fact is that Korean GP2x users are openly complaining that Odd-i is living off GP2x because of all those ports from GP2x. Who would have thought GP2x would be in that position. :D

Its like a cute little machine that leaches off of the gp2x ;p Im itching to buy one alone for the shear fact of its slick screen and harddrive space/tvout for anime/moive purposes :)

I could have like.. drools.. lots of stuff on it.

imma still keep my lil baby gp2x though as he plays thegames well ;)

Are there any more infos about this machine?
I hope there will be English info abotu this soon.
Not that I would buy one, but I'm always interested in "clones" or compatible machines, I'm curious about such stuff (especially Famicom clones'n shit ;))
