What ever it will be, it should NOT cost more than 180€.

It's okay. Someone helped me sort it out by clicking on the options button above my post and selecting standard view.

typing will always suck on handhelds

you obviously never used a good thumbboard.

the Sidekick II has an excellent one, i can type almost as fast as on my PC, and i type VERY fast.
the smaller one on my nokia E61 is also nice, but not as fast.
physical keys are the better solution anytime. and come on, it adds maybe 5mm thickness.

and bluetooth anything!?! i play in the bus, train, etc. where exactly do i put my bluetooth peripherals?

I think there could be some really good ideas by looking at this device. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3...h&plindex=8

I don't see that happening. I'm guessing about 200 - 230 euro.

With all these ideas this device is going to have one of everything making it ridiculously expensive.

If it turns into the game-console-cum-pda-cum-all-things-to-all-men device that people seem to want here then I certainly won't be buying one. If it turns out to be a damn good gaming device then count me in.

Also, I think the keyboard is a crap idea, an on-screen keyboard is much better.

What the fuck do you guys expect, the people who make this also want to make some money off of it.

Hmmm.... lose one old customer and gain 3 news ones, or keep the old customer happy?

Just cos one doesn't want a keyboard, the other does!

Do it for the commercial factor, niche machines are rubbish......................

Oh ya, 'cause everyone knows that well-priced niche machines (like, oh, say the Wii) never sell as well as pricey 'do it all' systems (like the PS3, for example)...

:rolleyes:

You're talking an unknown machine from an unknown manufacturer aimed at a hobbiest market; hoping for mass-market penetration with this thing is dreaming in Technicolor, imho... <_<

Hmmm, the GP2X is 180 euros, and this thing is going to be more than twice as fast with lots of other features and peripherals. Doesn't sound expensive to me.

If you prefer to use a PSP, then that's upto you, isn't it?

How do you know this? I think your just guessing with no real knowledge.

Just clear your cookies and cache files. It worked for me.

The Wii is a niche machine...? Really???

230 € is a bargain. Personally I don't see this happening for this price, really. The only thing available that looks a bit like this is the N800. And you will have to pay 350 for that. And don't even try to compare it with UMPC's because the cheapest will cost at least twice as much and for that price you will get that horrible OS that will take forever to boot.

It will interest them though, people at a tech forum who I showed the specs to have been very interested in this thing and they generally didn't like the GP2X.

That`s as maybe, But Craig is not building this handheld himself, And who really cares about an "unknown manufacturer", If the hardware`s good and the price is good, It will sell. Who really knew who GamePark and GamePark Holding were before the GP32 and GP2x graced our shores ?, Didn`t stop them selling thousands of them now, Did it ?.
