US Mega-Modder Makes Handheld ZX Spectrum (2014)

This is one I just have to share. US Modding genius Ben Heck, has been working on a portable ZX Spectrum, and it's based around a PAL rubber keys model from our side of the pond, rather than a Timex Sinclair computer.

If you can get by the repeated use of the pronunciation of "Zee Ex" in place of "Zed Ex" (and Ben even says in the first video that he knows he's pronouncing it wrong) then this is a really interesting video, and just incredibly cool. Okay, he could just get an emulator on his phone but, it just wouldn't be the same.

The picture in this post is link to the trailer for the videos, which are hosted in full length on You Tube.
