    And just 7 or 8 years ago, a Pc was just as powerful.

    They had a really hard time building those in mass scale because of the unusual key layout.

    It was originally slated to be released something like two years ago. They've only just started shipping them and they're incredibly late.

    If i was to buy something like that it would be the GP2X or the Dingoo

    I had one preorder about 2/3 years ago then they had some trouble with their bank accounts and changed banks refunding everyone their money with a direct preorder.
    In the end I got sick of waiting, wish I hadn't now ahhh well.
    The GP2X is a good bit of fun I used mine for all sorts from movies to homebrew to games though it's main downfall is that it runs off AA batteries. Nice bit of kit had mine for 4/5 years and it's still going.

    They could make this a quad core 5Ghz but a small screen is still a small screen. In other words if they could put 100 PS3's clustered into wrist watch what good would it be to the average person? Too small is too small.
