Wow that was fast, I still haven't gotten mine.

Little steep for my taste. I'm still hoping the nD comes to exist. I'd buy a few open-source handhelds at $10 a pop, even if the quality is significantly lower than something like the Zero.

Would like to see how Emulation is, i wouldnt use it for anything else.

[Orion4874]

I actually have a prototype unit and can say that emulation is already very good. As of now only 16bit and below have emulators available but PSX and maybe even N64 will be in the future.
