Post by: Data on May 07, 2015, 21:57:56 PM
Yup this isn't a joke they have recreated the ZX Spectrum for the 21st century, this time it runs Android.

That's so cool. I had not heard of this one, but there was another one supposed to be released sometime soon. Good find  :thumbsup:

It's a nostalgic device for sure. I would like to read some reviews but yes it's not released yet.

This item will be released on July 31, 2015

I'll have to keep an eye on this. I like the idea.

Whilst I like the idea I still have two working Speccys tucked away. I used to play a few games with emulators on the PC. Love it but can't see me spending on it yet.

The Spectrum doesn't look as dated as the other computers of the time and I still think there is something to be said for the rubber keyboard too.

But yeah, don't really want to spend £100 on one.
