GPi

[bruce leeroy]

Whatever happened to the GPi, it looked awesome, had built in cellphone (GSM, so not usable in the US [we use CDMA]) it looked cool, was a flip top like GBA.

No news about it for a while now.


What happened?

Abandoned by GamePark?

Said it before, and will say it again...

Prefer a seperate phone and GP32....

Got an XDA and that's big enough! Any bigger and it'd be a PAIN in the ass!....

The GPi in my opinion, as well as in other peoples opinions, was a piece of crap. Simply because of the horrible button layout. If they ever make a model that folds like the GPi they should make it less chunky and more like the SP.

What we saw was a prototype Maestro. :rolleyes:

That´s why N-Gage will fail miserably. It cannot be good at both, only average.

I seem to remember an estimate release of a long time (2004-2005) don't just presume it's been scrapped, GamePark don't make a lot of noise.

And the GP32 went through a lot of different prototypes before being released.

I've always been in favour of interconnective devices that serve each a single use, for example you would have a touch screen without a heavy cpu with just a bluetooth adapter which would be use to send and recieve the visual and input signals to a cental processor box, then you would have devices like and audio device you would have round your neck, and also a drive unit to insert games and data. And the whole system could be linked to a mobile phone (with or without screen as the whole setup already has a screen).

What all that would do is give you a minimal ovelap of devices, cos atm is i have a palmtop and mobile phone and an mp3player, i have 3 Screens, 3 Speakers, 3 Processors.

So decentralizing all your gadgets and giving them a single use for which they were bought would save space and make it cheaper.

Not to mention the slot where you install the game cart is UNDER the battery! That thing was a botched abortion from the start. You get the impression it was designed by someone who didn't really understand cell phones OR game systems.
