I didn't see "no digital signatures required" on the list. Nor have I seen the national advertising campaign yet.

No hardware acceleration? It's probably on par with the GP2X.

A 400Mhz Risc with 32MB Ram can easily run tomb raider and GP2 (assuming hardware divides) at pretty decent speeds with software rendering - in fact it could even do Delta force, rollcage and compete with the DS's graphics (well I'm sure I remember playing these games on my 333Mhz Cyrix MII).

No touch screen.. I'll keep my DS.. I like the idea though.. I wish I had the skills to write decent eduware for the DS.. oh well.
