Look at this bad boy! It runs Linux and is a third of the price of a PSP!....it can play games. It can play your Movies. It can play your music. It can view photos. It can read Ebooks. It runs on just 2 AA batteries - And it can do all this in the palm of your hand or on your TV screen.
Yes that's right, this handheld can connect to the TV, console style. Watch your DivX movies on the TV. Play emulated classics on the TV. Try big screen Quake. Or just play them all on the GP2X's large 320*240 backlit screen. You get the best of both worlds.
It runs the free Linux operating system. This means a whole world of Games, Utilities and Emulators are at your disposal. Quake, Doom, SNES, Megadrive, MAME, Media players and Applications to name just a few.
It's powerful - Two 200mhz CPU's with 64meg of RAM, custom graphics hardware and decoding chips. Takes SD cards and has 64M of NAND memory. Plenty to play with. One of the most powerful and advanced handhelds today.
Hmmm - that next day of freelancing......

The screenshots look pretty good though I've never played any of them! I wonder if Cedega (http://www.transgaming.com/) will work on this? That would open up more options.
Looking at their site I think they intend for people to run the many emulators (MAME for classic 1980's/90's arcade emulation for example). That might suggest that they are targeting the retro gaming fans but there are a lot of games that are develope1d under Linux - Quake etc.
