Just wanted to correct this...1 GHz, not MHz.

Yeah. The friggin' Atari 2600 was at around 1 MHz(Closer to 1.2 according to wikipedia). :P And we all know how pac-man turned out on that...
But anyways, this is highly impressive. When I get more money and this thing is available(is it, or no?), I might use these as a basis for mini-HTPCs that play mainly streaming content.

I believe you could build this think inside a keyboard. Commodore 64, anyone?

Forget about Pico stuff, a DreamCast would be enough for a mini Mame. You will want a proper joystick and buttons for your mini Mame right? And the display? We have Mame for mobiles already that plays all the classics. You think this Pico will run all the Mame catalogue?
What about all those old laptops going on Ebay with nice bright TFTs. And that Ipod Mame. Man, that is real small.
No Pico ITX would be great for a specialist hobby like auto-compo designs but not arcade games IMHO. $350 for the pleasure?
No thanks.

I don't know about that. It'll certainly work but it's not ideal. IIRC the Dreamcast's processor is only about 200mhz. Even allowing for the fact that it's probably more efficient that an Intel processor running at the same speed, that is borderline for running many of the later classics. Also, having to swap disks is a pain.
Now an Xbox is a different matter. I'm really kicking myself for missing out on the Argos deal.
