Click here (http://gp2x-emulation.dcemu.co.uk/Wizintroduction.jpg) for a brochure with a lot of information and specs.

The most interesting thing is the Flash Player (Flash 7.0 compatible) and the planned release of commercial games. It has a LiIon battery built-in - and finally a place for the stylus! And a nice OLED display. If everything works as planned, it will be shipped in mid October.

Looks awesome cant wait to see what the price is, best thing of all is that GP2X is far from dead, all that has to be done is recompiling of GP2X Homebrew (http://gp2x-emulation.dcemu.co.uk). The specs are quite powerful with an Arm9 533mHZ processor and 3D Accelerator and 64 MB of ram. Looks like the PSP (http://psp-news.dcemu.co.uk), DS (http://nintendo-ds.dcemu.co.uk) and even the Pandora (http://pandora.dcemu.co.uk) will have a fight on.

Those interested should check out the GP2X Store (http://www.gp2xstore.com/Gp2x_Wiz_Handheld_Game_Console_p/158.htm?Click=21) who have now added them to preorder.

UPDATE - Play ASIA HAVE THEM ON PREORDER HERE --> http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-2pz-71-d1-77-4-49-en-84-j-70-2z59.html

This look awsome, but what kind of game can be play on this, does its game have better graphic than psp.

Nice, so it's an updated GP2X :)

[n8archer_XI]

better than the F-200, more powerful, and a better d-pad(s)!

HELL YEAH!

but is it very difficult to get GP2x apps and such working on it?

[Aryn]

How much will this system cost? Is the screen any bigger or smaller than the GP2X screen? How many of the people who are, or were, in the GP2X scene are planning to create applications and games for this system? How difficult will compiling the games to work on this system be, and would there be anybody planning on compiling them before or after the system is released? How long does it take to go from turning the system on to actually playing a game? Will the firmware be as slow as the one on the GP2X F200 and take up to 45 seconds just to boot up, or will it reach the menu screen almost instantly?

I do not mean to sound like a naysayer at all, or imply anything, but there are a lot of unanswered questions so far. More information is required to make an educated decision on which homebrew system to purchase.

:eek:The display 2.8 inch is too small; especially it’s a touch screen panel. 3.5 or 4 inch will be good:thumbup:, and with resolution 480x320 it will be super, and it sucks no TV out :mad:, also a playtime approx 5 hours it’s not impressive:o.
