We like:
Good ergonomic design; good range of uses
We don't like:
Far from straightforward to use; battery life on AA batteries
CNET.co.uk judgement:
We wouldn't recommend the GP2X to casual gamers, but it is a fascinating handheld device that will appeal to a tech-savvy audience or anyone with an interest in homebrew games and applications
