Looks like it includes in built GB & NES emulation, but there is a wiki with a guy working on homebrew:

Looks very cheap for what you get, the processor speed is variable up to 168MHz

Looks very nice! Apparently it's ARM-based, too. B)

This is not new at all... Erant hacked this first, months ago but never released any of his findings.

New to me, anyway.

Are they any good? Controls usable, etc?

Terrible button and d-pad placement on that thing. I'd have to turn it upside down to play it. The d-pad is ridiculously close to the bottom of the machine which will make it a right pain in the backside to hold and it'll be very uncomfortable.

I got duped into buying one of those in China Town (London) last summer, it's the most horrible handheld I've ever had the pleasure of owning. The camera's okay, if a bit tempremental, but the NES emulator is a bit of a joke. It can just about handle Super Mario Bros, sometimes, but it struggles with Tetris. The buttons require a LOT of pressure, to the point of thumb-bruising.

Best avoid it, dudes.

there are some similar appearing ones on DX, such as this one, which has microsd support, (slow) genesis emulation, and divx support.

lack of need/72$ is the only thing keeping me from picking one of these up.
and this one has tv out, and a camera.
