	I was concerned at the reports of units suddenly up
	and committing suicide, or "auto-bricking"
	http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?showtopic=23009

	The GP2X has a great price point and seems to have
	a more enthusiastic developer community.

	But I'm leaning towards the Nokia 770 because it has a huge
 	screen (800x480) and a stylus input device.

	Again this is because I have a specific app I wish to develop
	which wants lots of screen real estate and fine control
	to move playing counters on a scrolling hexgrid map.
	Otherwise the GP2X is attractive.
