What's wrong with 2D? What's wrong with an open OS? > They're asking for a million dollars or more to be invested by someone else, simply to be able to fool around with it. And they're presumably willing to pay some amount of money for the opportunity to do so. The groups that have successfully designed, built, and sold open gaming handhelds in the past (and present, actually) seem like good proof that a product like that is something that a lot of people want and are willing to pay for. > all for free and as open source? Not going to happen. "Free" as in "gratis"? Maybe for the software, especially if it's built as a hardware-specific SDK, on top of already-available open libraries, like SDL. I'd expect to pay for the hardware, and pay more than something that's subsidized by the subsequent game purchases (like Sony or Nintendo hardware).
