Sorry it's a bit late, had to talk to some guys RE my movie.

FEAST YOUR EYES!

Image

Isn't the best photo, just snapped it now. Full story and TONS of photos on Wednesday.

Features:

8" TFT screen, dual speakers
CompactFlash "disk drive" storage (16 megs currently)
Built-in Ni-MH battery, can charge while running
Full keyboard
Built-in Player 1 & 2 controls.
Joystick ports
Cursor control knob (the thing below space bar)
Slim SIO floppy drive port for hooking up extra drives, or to a PC.
Brushed aluminum & woodgrain case
"Error list" printed on case in reference to old portable/pocket computers.

Now is that cool or what?

One thing, don't distribute this photo beyond these forums until the official announcement Wednesday, thanks. I want the full story up before people see it.
