the Nd

What are the specs of the nD?
The nD screen resolution will be 320x240. Since the nD is still in the prototyping stage, further specs such as CPU architecture and RAM amount are not yet set. The current prototype features a 400MHz ARM CPU, although this may change for the final hardware if these chips cannot be acquired in a large enough volume. You can expect the nD to feature at least 16MB of RAM, but more likely 32MB.

Does the nD use AA or AAA batteries? Whats the battery life?
The nD does NOT use AA or AAA batteries. It uses a built in rechargeable battery pack. This was done to increase durability and reduce size. The battery life of the nD is TBD.

What is the nD's display like?
The nD features a 2.4 inch backlit LCD display with a resolution of 320x240 and capable of displaying 16 bit color.

Does the nD feature Wi-FI capabilities?
Yes, the nD features built in Wi-Fi for local multiplayer and possibly online multiplayer.

Does the nD feature an SD card slot for memory?
No, the nD doesn't feature any kind of SD storage. However, the nD does feature internal memory for game storage. Currently 2GB is expected to be the amount for the base model.

Will there be different nD form factors?
Yes! The nD design you have seen is the original design currently in prototyping, but there may also be a premium clamshell model as well. In the future, developers may choose to create their own custom nD enclosure to ship with their game.

Are there any working nD units or is this just a silly dream?
There are currently several working nD prototypes in use by the nD development team. They are currently powered by a 400MHz ARM CPU, although this may change for the final hardware. A preview of the prototype hardware is planned to be shown soon.
