Handheld Emulator-A dream come true

Imagine this.
DK, Tetris, Pokemon, Earthbound, Sonic, and Mario Kart all on the same, handheld system, plus the ability to watch videos. And it runs Linux. And it doesn't have crappy controls (referring to iTouch/iPhone game emulation).

$180.
I'd honestly rather have this than a Wii, 360, or a PS3. I do old-school games like that.

Just the ability to play Earthbound and Donkey Kong seamlessly in my hands makes me a little bit happier.

Sure, it may seem a bit pricey, but so did the V7 when that first came out, and I guarantee more personal entertainment with this than with other game systems.

Needless to say, I'm going to buy this before the end of summer. Luckily, it also supports Flash, so I guess I'll be doing some cubing on it as well?

I like the idea, so don't take this the wrong way. All that stuff can be done on a PSP, which you can get new for less than that. That's about all I use my PSP for, as the quality of actual PSP games is lacking.

How can you make such a guarantee if you don't own one yet? You don't even know how much entertainment I got from other game systems (a lot!)

That seems a bit expensive. Why not try http://dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.20217 instead?

Yes, These are very cool looking, I've had that same page open in my browser for about a week .

It's technically illegal to just copy the ROMs onto it, but you can buy some of Ebay.
Also some have be released to public domian and the like

I am obsessed at making everything I can run linux (even just a terminal) .
I guess you could run linux games, Xmoto in your pocket would be awesome (Would that work?)
