Yeah, fantastic... and best of all BACKLIT! I hardly play my GBA any more because I can't see the screen from any room in my house. I have to go and get on the train or something to make it playable! It may be a little small, bit fiddly getting to the shoulder buttons.

I'll definitely buy one when the price drops.

WOW :-D That is really slick and cool - WICKED!

Heh.
Go look in the Ninty forum on the topic about it.
I asked the exact same quesiton - someone posted a link there.
You can see them - they're the same colour as the console and look to be in the right place to reach round for.

I'll be getting one of those.

You do know they'll probably change the design a few times before they make a final decision, don't you? It looks a bit rubbish as it is. I prefer the current GBA design, its a lot like the Game Gear, and I liked that too.

Oh, I was about to agree with your original post but I misread it. I thought you said it was bol*o*ks, in which case I would have agreed. It just looks like one of those cheapo Personal Organisers. It's the tacky plasticy buttons that does it. Also I can't see it being very comfortable. I just like the better one a whole lot more.

Yeah, looks great, but it's really just the same as the GBA.

Expect a proper GBA2 by 2005 or something.

:-D
