This handheld system looks killer, made in Korea, hope they bring it to the US.. Uses smart media cards for storage, sounds promising, look out gba :p Check those specs!!!

About time someone put two speakers on a handheld system.

it's a shame they deviated from the original system design which was for the gp32 to be an actual handheld PC that could play PC games.

ever since the switch to smart media, i can't figure out how they'll combat piracy.

Not to worry (too much). From what I hear, Korean is fairly easy to learn (at least compared to Japanese and Chinese). There aren't that many characters, and they all seem to be geometrically-oriented and easy to distinguish from one another, rather than calligraphy-like (in the case of Kanji).

Also, in Japanese, sometimes, I've heard of one Kanji having two different phonetic equivalents, but apparently still one meaning, like Ten or Tsuki.

Its a handheld system that is much more powerful than the gba and uses smartmedia cards, its equivilant to psx/saturn 2d graphics
