Atari Mini

Yes, I have already prepaid for the new Atari "THE400 mini". I did so as soon as I could. Why would I be so eager to purchase this little tiny device (other than I have become an Atari everything fanboy)? First and formost, The 400 mini will run software created for all of the Atari MOS 6502 computers with all the formats. Let me list the Atari devices out that his will run the software for:

Atari 400 and 800

Atari 5200

Atari 1200XL, 600XL, and 800XL

Atari 65XE, 130XE, adn 800XE

Atari XEGS

What does the 400 mini look like? It looks like the original Atari 400 from 1979.

What are the hardware specs for the Atari mini?

H3 CPU

RAM 256MB; FLASH: 128MB

5 USB ports for game controlers, drives, keyboards, and what ever else.

HDMI output
Unlike many other mini consoles, this one makes it easy to run your own atari software via USB.

Don't own any Atari software, 25 games are included...like

Berzerk

Boulder Dash

Capture the Flag

Lee

Millipede

Miner 2049er

Missile Command

M.U.L.E

Star Raiders II

Yoomp!

Battle Zone

Air Ball

Crystal Castles

Yep, we only know of 16 of the 25 games so far. Since the Atari MOS 6502 8-bit CPU systems are really good gaming systems - This mini also includes a CX-40 like USB joystick. I hear that is of good quality. They are also touting that many other USB controllers work too.
