Craig writes "Gamepark have officially released the follow-up to its successful Linux handheld, the GP2X. The GP2X Wiz is a 533Mhz Linux-based handheld that's a similar size to the GBA Micro, with a touchscreen and 12 games preloaded into memory, many of which are demos of commercial games. The system comes with 1GB of flash memory, which can be expanded with SD cards. The Homebrew Community have already released ports of games such as Quake, Wolfenstein 3D, Warcraft and emulators for SNES, Genesis, Commodore 64 and the arcade emulator Mame."

If it made money it is successful. Since it did not fail, it is successful. There are lots of successful people and products I am sure you have never heard of.

Whooosh.
If selling 60,000 units was enough to be profitable, then it's a success. Maybe not iPod-like success, but still a success.
