Pyxa - new handheld (kickstarter)

[TeDaDeS]

On kickstarter there is a new console with a very similar name to Pyra, the Pyxa:

From the kickstarter page:
"Resolution of Pyxa is 128 x 160 pixels and it is capable of displaying full 18-bit colour. Pyxa is based on ATmega328P processor, and it accomodates a micro SD card socket for displaying bitmap images and a buzzer to add sound to your video games.

Rechargeable battery has 600 mAh storage, which will provide at least 4 hours of non-stop gaming."

Looks quite cute but is ultimately highly disposable.

Eww ardurino.
But i like the screen choice, refreshing to see it horizontal.

Very, very similar to Gamebuino. Same processor, similar build...

The price seems a little steep. The name isn't exactly the same, maybe they were going to name it Pyra but saw this project and changed it slightly?

Oh look! it's another kickstarter handheld that uses 8bit microcontroller instead of application processor, and have insane price!
Nothing to see here. Moving along.

Could I interest you in being a broker for you and, for a little fee, exchange your currency to a bath full of Zimbabwean dollars, which you can set on fire with alcohol

On topic:

The Pixa looks very nice for teenagers that want to play with the arduino IDE.

Fairly certain my keyboard has a more impressive processor (Not a joke, by the way). Too niche, IMHO.
