Anyone else a GP2X owner out there? I know I am and it's a great piece of hardware www.gp2x.com or http://wiki.gp2x..org for details if you have no idea what I'm on about.

Iv been looking at one of these, hows the video playback on it? And how sturdy is the unit?

Looks cool but also quite cheap

im looking to pick one up when i get some decent income per week. The fact that it can play music/movies/images/ebooks/all console games from the atari to the ps1.. its a definite winner. It can also do tv-out, and the fact that it runs on linux... if it doesnt work.. code it yourself

The video playback is good. The only problems I've ever had is with really high res .avi's but thats nothing a little transcoding won't fix. I really like mine much wider section of games (PSX emulator is finished now so most PSX games play perfectly) and better battery life than PSP and DS.

It's certainly a very cool device.

Unfortunately though, I simply don't think I'd have a use for one, though the idea of a portable PSX is certainly an interesting one...

Its only downfall, from my limited reading, is that it doesn't appear to have built-in wireless, or any type of network connectivity at all, aside from IP over USB.

Built-in 802.11b would really make this the perfect tool, even if it did bump up the price by $10-$20.

I wonder what the functionality differences are between a GP2x and a DS running DS Linux?

There's an online shop here in AUS which sells them:

My GP32, which broke a few days back, is going to be replaced with one shortly. Gotta love the emulation.
