    The sliver one won't be released (well, not yet anyway.) it was only a test. The White one is also damn sexy. Don't know if i will wait for it though. Don't know wich kernel it uses, but i think it is the 2.6. The only thing i'm sure is that it uses a modified version of mplayer called gplayer.

    the question is not the size, but the price. Wich Os it uses, and If it uses a modified version of an OS.

    Yep, that's the one with TV-out. :)

    Man that screen quality looks excellent! At first I thought it was computer generated but then I saw the reflection of the camera and hand in the screen. I just hope the screen is fast. Would hate to see another PSP type screen (very good looking but slow as hell).

    white are for devs and betas, from what i've heard. but they're going to release other colors sooner or later. White was very liked by the community, so i think they'll opt for that color next.

    the grey one was just a test with user feedback to know if they should release the system in that color. But people voted for black.

    Any news on commercial games for it yet?

    I think I only used my GP32 for a couple of hours, The novelty wore off quite quickly (like the batteries :D)

    It is likely. Not right now though. The Sdio Port is opened, not locked. And there's wifi and bluetooth sd cards available. If someone makes a Driver for the 2.4 Kernel and Arm Cpu that would detect and run those cards, then anything is possible, even surfing the web. And i'm pretty sure someone will attempt to do this, since the community is wide, full of projects and will, and full
    of linux users.

    that's not tweaked, but the resolution will be the same. Possible higher resolution via tv-out.

    what does 260.000 by software means? the lcd screen could use 16.7 million color, but the hardware will only be able to use 260.00 if i understand.. do i?
