The GP32 is a brand new handheld game console. It has double the resolution of a Game Boy Advance SP and up to four times the processing power. It is an open platform (like the PC) and a lot of private development has already begun, including emulating other game consoles on it.

Hot damn this thing’s got potential.

It looks like this will be overtaken by the XGP and GP2X.
There were problems in 2002 with Game Park finding a European foothold, but that problem has apparently long been resolved.

Whoops, I broke my HP 200LX.. I’ll have to get it repaired before I can re-open this project.

An early-1990s

A portable computer.

Clamshell, Full QWERTY-keyboard with a keypad and macro keys, authentic Intel 8086 hardware, true DOS, a task-switching application, and a number of GUI applications and productivity software. It is truly a portable computer.

Abandoned — HP decided to switch to the Windows CE-supporting palmtops in their Jordana-series of palmtops, even though the 200LX was still a moneymaking operation.
