Handheld Gaming / Media-player Gadget Runs Linux

Posted by timothy on from the redundantly-so-yes-it-runs-linux-redundantly dept.

An anonymous reader writes "LinuxDevices has profiled a new portable game- and media-player based on embedded Linux. The GPX2-F100 features dual ARM9 processors, USB 2.0, a 3.5-inch color LCD, and support for both native and emulated games. A Linux SDK (software development kit) will be available when the device ships. Hmmm... I wonder how hard it'll be to get GPE and OPIE running on it?"

  1. Not to be rude, but.... by Cpt_Kirks · · Score: 4, Informative

    When are companies going to realize this type of device (Video, MP3, Gaming) needs a fucking HARD DRIVE?

    I mean it's not like tiny hard drives don't exist.

    At LEAST make it an option!

  2. device is not made by Gamepark... by soapdog · · Score: 3, Informative

    This device is not made by gamepark, former gamepark of gp32 fame splited in two companies, one called gamepark and the other called gamepark holdings. Most of the original gp32 team moved to the new GP Holdings company, only one of the engineers stayed on the "other" gamepark which is yet to deliver its new device. So GPX2 is the successor of G32 but is made from a different company populated by the original gp32 crew with a name much like the old company... just check any of the cool gp32 foruns like gp32x.com and check the history.
