LOL... yeah and it'll only be in Korean but will feature an automated google translation. "Purchase the great opportunity to entertain household. Super Mega animated film playback."

Oh neat, it's a ... field.
Okay, you HAVE to be kidding me... the Wiz runs linux as it's operating system. How could you not know this? I mean, yeah you might overlook something like this normally, but you are on these boards since 2006 and the wiz has been discussed at length including the ease of porting apps from the gp2x to the wiz since they are both using linux!!!
Yes, I do know that it runs linux. However for using things like bluetooth dongles you need a distro as I _highly_ doubt that gph kernel holds the modules to do all that. That's what I meant with 'linux', a distro. I'm not familiar with open2x but I think that's along the lines of what we need for bluetooth or wifi dongles.
QUOTE
And why would you want an apt-get like service when there clearly is no WiFi? Didn't we establish that in this thread already? I'd rather have an online store that I can actually browse in linux (not like that win32 crap they had for the gp32) and then slam the games I purchase on my SD card... Please god, do not let them mess this up with DRM... I am still considering to buy a Wiz in 2009 but DRM will be a deal breaker for me.
Apt-get for the emulators then automatic syncing with sd cards? Make sense? Sounds like something I'd like. It wouldn't be 'apt-get' per se, but I used the name just to convey the basic mechanic. Yes, I think the app-store will be along the lines of what you said and that was what I was trying to say as well, anything but a windows app for the store. I agree about DRM.
Regarding webbrowsers etc. network apps, I'm in the meh camp, it might be good enough for MSN/gtalk/IM, but there's plenty of gadgets that do that already.

Okay, every linux install is somehow a "distro". Loading a compiled module into the kernel is like one command. There is no need for anything like a debian distro or similar. Loading module was also possible on the gp2x... so this still doesn't make any sense. That's why you need a sort of open source driver.klikklak said:

Okay, I get what you want to do but apt-get was just a very confusing example in this context.

Fine, maybe I was overly vague. You're right, a dongle just needs a module. Frankly I don't have a clue where to look to add just a module to the gp2x. So a precompiled binary release with assorted tools would be preferrable than just distributing a module as such.

The problem isn't with the slot or the hardware, it's the lack of a driver. I have to assume that creating one isn't trivial. To my knowledge, the main reason it hasn't been done for GP2X is that the GPH kernel is based on 2.4 so any recent code you find would need to be essentially rewritten. Maybe Open2x will make things easier.xnopasaranx said:
So Larken, yes you could use an SDIO card if you had a driver. The thing is, the writing the driver part isn't trivial. Maybe it will happen. But I wouldn't buy the Wiz assuming it's going to happen. If it does, it'd be nice.

Just as a bonus.... no way not a chance in hell sorry man no wifi.vapourstreak said:but it cant be on the wiz (like the itouch) because it has no wifi right? It has to be on a computer i think
