Plus they have a nifty little "printer" thing for them but that doesn't have
as much usefulness for a wearable system :P
hrm, Linux on a z80 processor? (I've heard talk about a cp/m system, if I
could remember the name!)
I see a possible color version of the camera+printer in the future sometime
after they bring the color gameboy (read: pocket-super gameboy :P) out.
BTW there are a couple of good pages for gameboy programming, Jeff Frothwin
(I dunno if I spelled it right) has a good page on gameboy
hardware/programming/software.
If an appropriate os was made I'd like to use my gameboy as a lightweight
wearable computer (lcd and keyboard interfacing might be tricky tho and
external comms+mass storage too :P)
but since I have my gridpadsl 2050 I don't have to rely on that, if I can
get my hmd and keyboard!
heh
