There a new hand-held doing the rounds, getting peoples attention, and it's actually being created by a UK company. Tiger Telematics.

And what's this hand-held called...

Gizmondo!

What sort of stupid name is THAT!?!

And take a look at some pics of the thing :-

What do people think of this new hand-held endevour? Is it going to over saturate the hand-held market?
Soon we'll have the GBA, GBA-SP, NDS, PSP, Gizmondo, and GBA2... meh, toooo many!

:)

Have you seen the size of that behemoth?

If you wasn't joking, it is a real console.
The GP32 uses Illegal roms, but, on consoles such as the commodore, nobody cares anymore.

And if Nintendo really cared about it, they'd have shut down most the roms sites down now, however illegal it is.

This isn't a real console, I'm guessing it's something Cookie's had to come up with for one of his University projects or something.

Do you really think calling a game about gang warfare 'colours' is politically correct though?

I see lots of angry Mary Whitehouse alikes beating down your door very soon.

Hehe, I wonder what Nintendo/Sega would say if they caught you playing their games on it.

Sure, the emulators aren't illegal, but the ROMs are (unless they're developed freeware or abandonware - the majority of ROMs are not)

Just wait for teh GP64

(I pray. I pray)

I'll vouch for the GP32.

It rocks.

You can't go wrong with the Gp, you have to understand - a diehard community makes sure that you've got a steady stream of games and apps to keep yourself busy.

And I've got an XBOX... :(

True. Sounds like the same reasons for buying an X-Box to!

I don't know where the 'out' came from, to be honest.

But, c'mon, it's heaven. Free movieplayer, free emulation - after teh 80 or so quid you pay for it, it's a free ticket to happiness.

No sound? Doesn't sound good.

I must admit, I was almost tempted by the GP32 due to the movie capabilities, but most hand-helds can play movies now. You can even get addons for the GBA to do it now can't ya.
