I wouldn't be surprised if the PokeFami DX and RDP are both being made by Shenzhen Qi Sheng Long.

It makes sense that the PokeFami DX is the Japanese/Asian version of the upcoming RetroDuo Portable, but it's impossible to say for sure until someone does a side-by-side comparison.
If someone wants to open up their RDP when it arrives, I can open my Pokefami DX, which should be here soon, and we can compare the insides. But I find it highly unlikely that they are not the exact same unit, other than cosmetic differences. The buttons are spaced the same, the dpads are exactly the same, as is the reset/contrast button, the controller adaptor, the stand...who do they think they're fooling?

I appreciate old skool fool's enthusiasm, but honestly is a better policy than hucksterism. Depending on how things shape up as more of us receive PDX's, the RDP may be a much better option for someone looking for an alternative to the Supaboy...you're looking at a $50 price difference after importing the PDX.

Also, I may pick up an RDP at some point, simply because the red color reminds me of the orange Sharp Twin Famicoms. Mmmm. If I do end up doing this, you can bet I'll be verifying whether these are the same units.
