This pocket sound performer allows you to create ‘hi-score’ music, which basically means it’ll sound like you’re killing a cat in a video game until you learn how to play the damned thing right. It uses a six LED display to help you figure out the song from mario 3. It has analog output that can be plugged in to your Gakken, and from the video it looks like it might even have a MIDI port.
If anybody could send me a test unit of one of these, I’d probably be happy for about 3 weeks.

This here is one o’ them fancy japanese analog synthesizers. It will synthesize fighting robots, dancing robots, sad robots, and tentacle rape. This is a kit, so the electronics and knobs come in a box and you have to put it together yourself, instead of having some azn kid do it. I think that’s neat because I’d like to use my own custom knobs and maybe electrocute myself a couple times while putting it together.

This is a perfect machine for those of you who feel the EeePC is just a little too… big and powerful. The device will likely emulate a good number of your old console favorites as well as your movies and tunes. There’s also a good possibility of some VoIP applications being developed and using the integrated microphone. Below is a preview rendering and you can also see it running a game if you like.
