I think we all missed something very important that he screwed up:
Please fix that to:
RAM: 64 MB SDRAM
Storage: 64 MB NAND Internal, SD Card
woops!!
I cannot recommend the rechargeable batteries enough, as the GP2X eats them just as fast as the Game Gear did.
Talk about technically inaccurate, the Game Gear used 6 AA batteries, and had an upconverter providing high voltage to an actual flourescent backlight. (the GP2X uses 6 LED lights)
At minimum the Game Gear burns through batteries 3 times as fast as a GP2X
The Game Gear reference was an attempt at being funny. And a lot of people at BC liked it. It was not a technicality. And both the GG and GP2X both eat through batteries very fast, no? That is why I stated it as such.
I will change the RAM and Storage. Thanks. Again. This is NOT on the FAQ page as you have stated here.
I have done my research. I even spoke to a couple board members, even before I had the unit in my hands to test the thing out myself.
I am trying to walk the very thin like of writing for a wide audience that cannot understand technobabble and writing accurately. Frankly I would rather it make sense to layman and have people on this board correct me.
Thanks for taking a look, I really appreciate it. I plan on writing an article on the 2.0 firmware, hopefully this weekend. And I already have an article started about using the GP2X.
Regards,
Ken

although there are a few mistakes due to a lack of research, I think the review was communicated very well. It runs loops around the cnet review.
Thanks, I appreciate it. Encouraging words help
In all fairness, that CNET thing was not a review, but yea, it came out looking very bad for them.

Also in your review those screenshots you have are scaled down and make the GP2X look pretty awful. While you and I know that it is not the way it really looks, many newbs will not and may think the GP2X cannot display games at full res. You should be able to click on those pics for a full detail 1:1 image.
Well, I did not just want to have one or two shots. I could pick three or four of them, but figured having more recognizable old games would be better. But I can see your point. Now to just pick which ones! And alas, we do not have a snazzy image gallery setup. I will see if I can get to that this evening.
