Quick run down on the GPx2 possibilities!

Seems to me that we can expect some serious hacking! Basically this thing is a Linux powered DVD player with a really powerful CPU huge potential! Especially of interest are the power futures :
Clocks and Power Manager
This chapter describes several internal clocks the chipset has, which are used to keep data flowing in an orderly manner across the different subsystems of the chip, and also the power management features. The clocks are cool in a beanie-hat sort of way, but the power management has some interesting features: the system can be put in several low-power modes (useful for alarm-type applications, where the gp2x can be put in standby mode until a timer wakes it up and it reminds you to do something; there is also a low-battery interrupt, meaning that if the batteries are running low, the user can be alerted or some sort of hybernation mode can be programmed in.
I hope we can get some sort of standbye after some Linux hacking!
Huge thanks to ''codesmith''!
