Game Boy Micro – Little Hackable Platform

Today Nintendo announced their super tiny 4 inches wide, 2 inches tall and 0.7 inches deep Game Boy Micro. While it’s not functionally different than the Game Boy SP, it’s a lot smaller and perhaps cheaper. I really like the Game Boy SP / Advance as a hackable platform, in issue 02 of MAKE (shipping now) we have an article about using GB’s as photo viewers, ebook readers, music players and home-brew code devices, the new micro will do all this and more- smaller. We like that. Link.
Our next audio show will be released this Friday- so if you have any questions about projects, hacks, technology, questions about anyhing– please call our voicemail today or Thursday and leave a message 206-888-MAKE. It’s not a local call, but you can also email me a sound file to pt at oreilly dot com.
