Ok Im thinking about getting it but.... Can it surf the Internet? If so how, is that what the explorer thing is when you start it up? Also what about the emulation is it really worth it? Also if you can surf the internet can you watch videos on youtube and play and watch flash animations?

Thanks ;) gp32_console
 
No, it can't surt the internet --- there's no wireless connectivity. In theory you can network it to your computer over USB and (I believe) go online using qtopia, but it's not something you'd ever want to do. Flash support at the moment is very basic and slow - you won't be able to watch decent-quality videos with sound, or play exciting games. The explorer option in the menu is a file explorer that lets you delete and move files on the SD card and NAND.

Is the emulation 'worth it'? Well that depends very much on what kind of games you enjoy playing. Personally I love being able to carry around all my old MegaDrive and Gameboy and NES games and believe it's well worth it. There are tons of systems emulated to a playable level (not n64 or playstation, so don't ask :P) and if you have any degree of liking for old gaming systems, I think you'll like the GP2X.
