Where ever the image came from, either the good ol' search exploit has been killed on Ben's move to Wordpress, or he hasn't written any HTML pages for it yet.

Blown up:

It's from the /images/rotate directory, so it probably showed up on the top of the homepage.

We won't be able to find anything regarding it until Ben writes/publishes the article. (WordPress stores everything in a database so the old search trick won't work.) That is unless project pages will still be done in standard HTML...

he made this a while ago and announced it on a podcast, he didnt show any pics though. I believe it was mentioned in that one podcast that was a video so i didnt get to check it out

It should be fairly obvious what this is. I still haven't finished it though.

That's the logo on the top of the portable, which confirms TurboTax's idea of it being a Commodore 64p.

I was getting my hopes up that it was an Intellivision portable, because I thought Ben had tried one before, but after searching for the logo, it was proven to be a C64p.

Just for kicks: Magnavox Odyssey Portable, anyone?

yea i wondered that if that was his new portable myself.

Well looks like Ben's finally started what millions have wanted for over 20 years. A [real] portable Commodore64, the SX just doesn't count. I'm hoping there is a "Making of" coming soon, I always love reading those.

Holy crapping ZOMFG your a freaking genious! NEVER ONCE had ANYONE thought it'd be a C64p! What a completafreakingly original theory!

Also, someone already made a OddysseyP.
