I stumbled upon the gp2x from another forums.

and looking at the unit
- AA battery
- only $180
- video,pic,mp3.
- great gamming /emulation potential.

seems to kick ass. but it seems like then unit just got released and no place in the USA has it.

for the price it's a cool gadget with alot of potential for emu fan like.

before I flop down my cash can someone that already got theirs answer these question for me.

- how is the build quality?
- is the video/mp3 play back flawless and stable? how is it?
- any nick picks and problems with the units that I should know of?

and finally, I"m in the USA where can I order it. only place that seems reliable is LIksang

Thanks for the quick reply.

seems to me the unit is still immature and quite a few issues.

I'll wait till alot more homebrew & emulators are out and these issues are fixed
 
I suggest you wait till the offical release. January 2006. Everything should hopefully be fixed by then.
 
ohh I was wondering why the website say "Pre order"

it seems alot of people on this forum has their gp2x already. I though it came out.
 
It's sort of "out".

We pre-order folks can iron out any bugs or glitches as the fixes come.

An impatient lot, yet patient enough to work out issues with a brand-new system ;)
