History of video games/Platforms/nD

History
The nD handheld game console was announced by Robert Pelloni in March of 2011.

Early news reports said that the nD cost $10 to produce and would be sold at $10. Later reports said that the nD was said to cost $20 to produce, and would be sold to consumers at $20 (Being sold "At cost"). While such a cost was quite low for a new handheld at the time, the at cost model was somewhat conservative given the common practice at the time of selling consoles at a loss.

At the time of the initial announcements, many media outlets were both impressed by the stated claims of the console, but just as skeptical the nD would actually be launched.

Compute
A 400 megahertz ARM CPU was to power the nD. The CPU would have been housed in a system on a chip.

The system would have had either 16 megabytes or 32 megabytes of RAM.

Hardware
The system was to have a backlit LCD with a resolution of 320 pixels by 240 pixels at "16 bits", possibly referring to color bit depth.

The console could connect to a PC via a USB cable.

Wi-Fi was noted as being supported by the nD.

A rechargable battery would provide power to the system. The USB port was also used to charge the system, which was also stated to be to encourage users to update their device frequently and connect online.

Software
The nD was said to run Linux and support SDL.

The nD would have supported an App Store, where developers would have had a generous 90% of the cut.

Bob's Game
Bob's Game was to be preloaded on the system as a launch title.
