GP3X to be released in October

You should be able to get your hands on your Wiz as soon as October. The Wiz, also known as the GP3X is the highly anticipated follow up to the GP2X, a handheld game system that runs linux. Sporting a 533 MHz ARM processor, 64 MB of RAM, a 2.8 inch OLED display, 5 hour battery life, and 16 GB of storage, its a heck of a deal. Where else can you get a portable with those specs, bundled with Flash player 7, DivX, Xvid, and MPEG playback for $179?
These units are supposed to be as hackable as the previous version. We’ve seen GPS and USB ports added as well as qtopia and Windows 95 run on them.
Correction: the 16GB of storage on the Engadget site is a typo. This unit comes with 1GB.

OK, but have you covered the Pandora??
600mhz stock ARM 8 processor, Overclocks to 800-900mhz.
128mb of DDR
Qwerty keyboard
powervr SGX graphics
Wifi and Bluetooth
Dual analog controls.
800×480 touchscreen
The build quality and design of the GP2X was poor (I owned a few, just to see if the redesigns helped, they didn’t).
This new version will be nearly the same crap. GPH is a crap korean company (not that all korean companies are crap, Hyundai is making a good korean product.)
Still no USB host built in, which the Pandora does have.
