The Caanoo has been a long sought after device that is an update from the very popular Wiz handheld from Gamepark. The Caanoo allows you to play your favorite games on the road and run classic games via an emulator. You can also play brand new games developed for the Caanoo platform and can generate some revenue if you submit the game to FunGP to enter into their store. Let's get into the review starting off with the hardware.

Hardware

Hardware wise the Caanoo is a solid build device with a light but tight feel. The buttons feel good when you press down on them and the analog stick feels good when in use but sometimes it feels weird to use when you are playing a game that was originally built for a D-Pad. it will take some time to get use to that in some cases but its not too bad.

The screen is a 3.5in 320x240 LCD with a resistive touch screen that makes the 16-bit style games look awesome while still giving off good quality when playing video and pictures. The touch screen is ok but not the greatest but a stylus is available to make the experience easier. I'm sure a resistive screen was chosen to lower cost and its not a main feature that will be used on the device so. The 533mhz processor runs find for most games but there can be slow down in some games that are heavy on the animation with a lot enemies on the screen. The dual stereo speaker are nice and loud and have good quality sound. The build in Wi-Fi is used to allow you to play network enabled games against friends and upload your high scores. Storage is done via SD card which support up to 32GB of storage and you download content on the device via the proprietary USB cable included. Overall the hardware package is solid and gives you what you need to have a good experience.

Software

The UI of the Caanoo is a Linux based system that is an open platform so anyone can develop for it. The system allows you not only to play games you can also listen to music, view pictures, watch movies, use apps and read e-books via text....Read full Review at http://bwone.com/gameparks-gp2x-caanoo-review/

PSP has better emulator abilities

[ROCKKERFAT]

WHAT OF THE EMULATORS ARE BUILD IN CAANOO?

[riddimking44]

@binaryD3struct0r Yeah you need an external dongle

[MultiBr3tt]

It lookd like a modern gameboy advance ( first model not the sp )

[granath55]

If you want a good emulator console, get a flashed psp!

System like 3ds is pointless,there is no movie player,no photo viewer,plus if you buy flashcarts you can play any 3ds games just ds games,which is really lame and it will do original ds stuff and that's it.

The caanoo is an good console which plays many games,videos,music,photos,netw­ork games,g sensor,vibrating motor and commercial game like asura cross,which is an awesome game with nice graphics and good gameplay.

@LanceLange You don't need 1.2ghz processor to run mame games but for caanoo you need to clock it atleast between 700-800mhz to make games run at full speed.

[binaryD3struct0r]

The WiFi's built in? I thought you needed the separately-sold dongle for that.

[TheFrostedLlama]

Simple. Straight forward. I dig it.
