Looks like we're on the cusp of a new stage in GP2X hardware development .. nice!!

The Panda might just be for fun. (it was posted by Pota)

Remember that these are not the final products. I have a feeling that atleast it has not been colorised.

The Panda one is just a custom paintjob, you can see it easily as the GP2X logo over the stick is missing.

EvilDragon said they would be white and silver or fully silver afaik.

what skin is the panda using? that looks really nice!

nice job, i might custom paint mine, my friend is an extremely talented tatoo artist, but loves working on cars, bikes, computer cases etc

ill have to get him to design something for me

Hey, a bob with an enclosure--nice!

Holy yokozuna, that looks fantastic!

As for the pandas, they're obviously photoshopped (just look at the jagged edges). The black model with the orange GPH skin looks more professional and less distracting anyway.

I don't really see how the BoB board fits into it, it must be a custom smaller design internally. Also where the hell is the connector to the EXT Port? Seems well concealed. Or it's just a plastic shell and no full prototype exists yet..

oh yeah! i didnt notice that, good eyes mate

The first image is just poorly resized. It doesn't look photoshopped to me, more like it was spraypainted. Photoshop CS did save the files but I convert files in PS without editing them all the time.

Hoo, that bob looks rather much like a SNES.

agreed. what I wanted to say but was too tired/lazy.

It looks like a tacky smart card reader, yet somehow less attractive and generic. Craig mentioned some kind of clip-on device with 3 USB ports (he said 3 because it should be able to support a WiFi stick, an external HDD and a mouse to operate like a computer) and that it'd have a built-in keyboard. I find the concept of using a mini keyboard like that on a phone with a full-size mouse and a TV to be the most awkward concept ever, but he said the keyboard was meant more for using terminal functionality. Doesn't seem too useful, but maybe someone would find use for that .. I wonder if GPH is really making that though, or if they just settled on this. At least it's more convenient than the BoB though.

I still prefer that idea (is anyone actually making it?) for a replacement GP2X back panel, with USB ports and TV output jacks on it. That's an ideal solution...

*looks at concept render then hides it*

Well.. Pota works for GPH.

[Azalin]

Does it look to anyone else like thats just chunks of styrofoam stacked together? Anyone?

Prototype.
