It's not the same because the CPU is much faster than it needs to be for such primitive sound and graphics. A major appeal of fixed hardware is coding close to the metal to get the maximum performance out of it. The PocketCHIP is supposed to be programmed in Lua, which you could do anywhere. With the GBA you're probably going to learn assembly, and because it's ARM the skills will be useful for many other things.

I guess I'm thinking of something between that and this http://www.mouser.com/new/embedded-solutions/display-modules/4d-systems-picadillo-35T/n-6m71gZ2cn2ie http://www.mouser.com/new/embedded-solutions/display-modules...
