    The reason they don't have any screen shots is that it was stolen from an Israeli company that had devloped a unit with a 1ghz AMD processor that would play PC games and all the other functions. The text of their anouncement was a copy of the Israeli business plan with a few errors introduced to make it look different. The Israeli web site is down, but look at US patent applications 20050108591 and 2005010765. GamePark was shown the original machine under an NDA.
