considers the GP2X to be a SPINOFF.

dont you think news sites should read up on the topics they are making articles about before actually writing the articles?

Eh? It says GPH is a spinoff of GamePark, which it is.

Don't you think readers should, well, read the article before making judgements?

well if what i read is correct, gamepark split into gamepark and gamepark holdings, from what i believe nither of them are ripoffs.

the oxford english dictionary may help:

rip-off, n.
2. A fraud, a swindle; a racket; an instance of exploitation, esp. financial.
3. An imitation or plagiarism, usu. one made in order to exploit public taste.

spin-off, n.
2. A by-product, an incidental development, side-effect, or benefit; the production or accrual of side-effects or indirect benefits; spec. (a) a business, organization, etc., developed out of or by (former) members of another larger business, etc.; ( b ) a show, television programme, etc., developed from an idea or character in another.
