that's seriously badass, but ... well a full keyboard would be nicer than the keypad, but oh well.
oh dear, that looks like a concept phone with an identity crisis :(

LOL trace :D

I'll get the new GP32! (name isn't fixed. You could win the console, only 1500 names in the contest)
For all people in the German speaking countries:

BUY-OR-DIE!

Plus, it will have 64 MB of RAM instead of 32, which was first announced. Also a cable will be released which let you plug your GPx2 on your TV and use every application, game or demo on your big screen.

Also, there is an _official_ GPx2 IRC channel out there (irc.hanirc.org / #gpx2) where the GamePark guys, and close developers from Korea and Europe hang out.

Friendly reminder:
PSP is 35 times faster.

the psp (2x333mhz MIPS cpus) is 35 times faster than gpx2 (2x200mhz ARM cpus)? i'd really like to hear the arguments for that...

But a great deal slower to get homebrew binaries to run on

evil:

Some PCs are even 100 times faster than the GPx2. So what?

PSP target audience != GPx2 target audience

Sony sues, GamePark doesn't. Sony gives us UDM movies which are also available on DVD - GamePark gives us pre-installed Videoplayer (DivX, XviD, ...), music players (MP3, OGG, ...), emulators and applications and a ready-to-go Linux for free.

Here you go.

what a waste of money and time - both psp and gpx. The same story every couple of years.

I mean, read a book or something...


I also never understood people who BUY movies. I mean, you can always RENT the movie. How many times are you going to watch it ? - And on a handheld device ? It is only, like, 5 inches wide !
- "Oh, but it so cutee..."
- "Yeah. Now pay your hard earned cash to SONY to watch an 'American blockbuster' (that you have watched before) on a screen smaller than your palm. Clever".

Cute my ass. It is only plastic...

However, I must say that if I had to choose between the two, I would go for the GPX2....

Well, yeah, I'd MUCH rather watch that movie on a monitor obstructed by someone's head, formatted for airplane screens and with major cuts. And with airplane sound, too.

Anyway, the few movies I watch, which is about 3% of what others do I guess - I still haven't seen HitchHiker's Guide yet and you'd figure I'd have seen that - I watch more than once, over a period where renting the movies would be equivalent to buying both of these devices with the money I save buy buying them over renting. True, if you watch a movie once and then toss it, it makes sense to rent.

But really I buy these things for the demos that will run on 'em eventually. And to try to write one for 'em. Cuz that's what I enjoy. If spending MY money on things I enjoy is a waste of money, fuck it, I'm wasting a bit of my cash.
Fair enough :-) .

I agree that watching movies on an airplane is torture (god, I have a transatlantic journey ahead of me soon, and I really don't want to be forced to watch "legally blonde 2" or something..).

My other problem with buying movies is that it can become a habit, and eventually you end up with lots of dvd-boxes - for a person living a nomadic life, it is extra space and weight. I got fed up with cds and dvds one day, and threw everything to the bin -including original software, gifts, movies etc.

Now I am one step closer to freedom, I don't have any dvd/cd-rom drives on the machine, I watch nothing but the occasional film on the cinema, I write demos and sleep in peace.. :-)

navis: you can always download a movie and put it on psp/gp32/gp2x and watch it on the plane. (I mean, you don't have to buy them ;)

however, i use gp32 to play old (but fast) pcengine games on the bus on my way work/home.

It usually takes 15min so, i prefer to do a tennis match than ready a little bit of a book.

Also the bus in London is very aggressive so you can't really concentrate to read anything.
