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
Elektra Glide
Henry's House
Seven Cities of Gold
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.
