You know, for kids! Meet the "XGP kids"
The XGP series was created from the ashes of the popular homebrew handheld, the GP32. The company split into two following what we can only imagine was a boardroom slapfight, spinning off Gamepark Holdings, makers of the GP2X. Meanwhile, back at Gamepark HQ, they announced the (redesigned) XGP, XGP mini, and now the XGP kids. Seriously, that's the name.
The diminutive handheld sports a 220x176px 2.2" screen, a 140MHz ARM processor, 8MB of RAM,16-bit sound, and SD card support. Apparently, this lowest end XGP unit is more like the GP32 than the others, meaning porting those GP32 homebrew classics should be a relatively trivial process. Still, there's not much about this unit that's screaming "kids" to us, besides the purported price. According to the entry on Wikipedia, the XGP kids is targeted at $75 while the XGP mini and XGP are targeted at $150 and $300 respectively. Now, if they can just figure out when they're going to release these things.
