These guys say that it's got '2 gigabyte flash memory' but I'm pretty sure they're wrong. Tony says small NAND.

There's no user-accessible NAND at all. Those guys definitely have it wrong.

Yep, I sent them an email. They really should double-check specs before they sell pre-orders to trusting customers. Not very professional at all, I think I'll stick to ED .

Edit: Their video sucks, too .

"Overclockable to 900MHz" is also a pretty crazy thing to put down.. not to mention advertising all those emulators that haven't yet been ported :/

^ Ah yes, well spotted. They still claim it can overclock to 900MHz, though :/.

yea i just ordered mine today from gameseeker uk hell if it plays doom and quake i want it forget what anyone else says will pass the time untill i get my pandora in batch2 inline 90-120 que position.

i noticed gameseek sell the PAL version so is there a NTSC version too?
wonder what the differences are and more importantly, which one's better? ? ?

[sbock]

No, that's nonsense. There is only one version.

I gotta say, it's been a while since I looked around the GP2X scene, and this new CAANOO's got my interest. I was just never comfortable with the Wiz's small form factor or D-pad.

Although I am concerned about the lack of Volume buttons, before they were often used for other controls like the SNES emulator's menu (because every other button is needed for the emulator).

Knowing GPH, there's bound to be some niggling problems when this thing gets out there, like the firmware problems, the unforseen screen tearing, and other issues. I think it best that I don't pre-order one and see how it rides out.
If they finally get the control stick/d-pad down, I might have no reservations in buying this.

[jbrodack]

I haven't heard anything bad about the caanoo stick so far so it must at least be decent. I didn't mind how the wiz dpad looked but didn't like that the action buttons were shaped the same plus early problems with tearing.

Also, there are 2 buttons underneath the stick that seem like they kinda replace volume buttons are also seem to work well with games played in vertical orientation.

[RupeeClock]

Wait, two buttons under the one stick? How is that possible?

Edit: Oh, no whoops you meant the I and II buttons.
I had heard that you can click in the analogue nub for an additional button.

You are correct.

I'll continue to update this. Mods, feel free to do the same. If someone could change the sub-title thingy from 'What we know so far...' to 'General Info and Useful Links' that would be dandy.

[Nova]

Done and done.

I had pleasant dreams about the caanoo last night, I dreamt of playing some sort of Sonic game, and for some reason, Ocarina of Time.
Although I know that won't happen, the Caanoo doesn't have the power to emulate N64 well enough, lol.

In any case I've reason to be excited, my play-asia order has a release date now, August 21st.
