GamePark’s GP3X ‘Wiz’ PMP Spy Shot

It has been nearly 3 years since the original Linux-based GP2X handheld first arrived, and based on this spy shot, it appears that a second-gen version is well on its way. Naturally, not much is known about the device other than a GP2X emulator should run on it after recompiling and it is (tragically) being called the “Wiz.” Let’s hope not because I already bought a “Wii” so I doubt that I would be able to stomach another product with a name that stupid.
