It would be more interesting if I could read it

Basically it's a C64 without the expansion connectors and comes with 30 games in (flash?) rom such as  the Classic Games™ series from Epyx™ including Summer Games™, Winter Games, World Games™ and The Seminal California Games™.

It's sort of nice for that amount of money, but I'm still waiting for the CommodoreOne. I really don't understand why Tulip won't put their money on that product  :-o

I was going to say the same thing. I though that this might be about a C65 handheld. Why would anyone make a console version?

Considering the looks of it, one might call it a handheld :lol:
 
Appearantly there's a similar Atari 2600 version of it too: http://www.dansdata.com/ataristick.htm
