GamePark Holdings has stopped selling GP2x units. Coming to replace it is this unit, Pandora (not made by GPH). Supposedly going to be released to the public in August for $330 US dollars. (and in other countries, for varying price.) Already there are dev units available, but you have to be able to produce something that they would want you to make. The specs are A LOT better than the GP2x was, even when it was overclocked, also better than the PSP.
The specs are:
- ARM® Cortex™-A8 600Mhz+ CPU running Linux
- 430-MHz TMS320C64x+™ DSP Core
- PowerVR SGX OpenGL 2.0 ES compliant 3D hardware
- 800×480 4.3″ 16.7 million colours touchscreen LCD
- Wifi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth & High Speed USB 2.0 Host
- Dual SDHC card slots & SVideo TV output
- Dual Analogue and Digital gaming controls
- 43 button QWERTY and numeric keypad
- Around 10+ Hours battery life
