Well I may be getting an early start for an official F800 speculation thread. Details are pretty slim.
My best guess on the SoC is they are sticking to MagicEyes still.
F100. F200. F800? Yup, A New Gph Model In The Works. A few details inside.

I've been hearing some chatter about a new model from GPH called the F800 due by the end of 2008. It seems too little too late already imho, but for more info refer to my blog post at:

If they basically just make it a GP2X with 4x the CPU clock, except that it's incompatible with GP2X binaries, and that it comes out in 2009, they've already lost. I guess..
By the way, does anyone know what's the maximum clock speed for the OMAP 3430?

I'm not putting too much stock in this rumour.
It has probably been started by investors in the craig machine, worried that people will not have any money after buying the F200. What better way to put people off getting an F200 than hinting at an 800 version ?
In the meantime the craigerbater comes out and everyone has full piggy banks. Brilliant.

Na, NA, na, na na na na na batman!!!! na na na na batman!!!
ontopic: to be completely honest why is gamepark pushing this out in 2008? do they feel that dejected about the f200. That they have to release another one.
Although granted the f800 will have a higher clockspeed...Is it really worth the time...with craiginator on the horizon.

The mobile open source market is branching out anyway. Let's hope it grows enough to support all the awesome devices coming out. It's important that it becomes easy for developers to make their games work on all the different devices. Then there will only be friendly competiton and diversity will lead to choice, not fighting.

All I have to say is that wifi, a touchscreen, at least one analog, and a price under $300 are absolutely necessary to compete with craig's new console. And I want to know why they would want to downsize the screen.....unless they are planning to make it uber-small. 
Why is everyone so quick to assume that craig's console is going to to come out next month, or something? I don't even remember him giving a release date. This will(assuming it exists)come out in 2008, and it is more than likely that craig's console will come out in 2008 as well.

And how are they going to compete when everybody who wants one has a Craiginator? 
EDIT: 2.8 inch screen? It's dead already.

The really sad part is that the DS has bigger screens on it(2x 3" @ 256*192).

Anarchy, the Official GP2X Distributor for Spain has been told that this is untrue by people at GPH.
So, it's either top secret or top somethingelse

That was a fun read but is it for real? maybe. The bit about the screen makes 'polar sense' like I've come to expect from GPH- I wouldn't really want to trust them even if the craiginator stats and these were swapped.
Like I said I'm not sure if it's worth thinking about even but let's say it is- so what on earth is the point of giving an upgrade to an existing format a smaller screen but no back compatibility? AND THAT'S WHAT THEY DECIDED TO RELEASE AS FIRST INFO
or did I read it wrong? anyway X-Code said it.. one or the other I guess
