Other uses for a GBA

What makes (the GBA) particularly interesting, however, its its cartridge slot, which opens up the device to custom expansion. (In an upcoming DDJ article, for example, we show how you can use this slot to turn the Gameboy into a powerful spectrum analyser).

I've used my SP as a flashlight and so has Mike, does that count as an alternate use?

A Livingston Junior High School student is in police custody today, after fellow students called Crime Stoppers to report he had a homemade bomb at school Thursday.

The student, whose name is not being released because of his age, hollowed out a Game Boy and filled it with gunpowder, Livingston police said.

But when the student bragged about his invention, another student called Crime Stoppers to report the device, police said.

The Polk County school was evacuated briefly Thursday afternoon while officials searched for the student and the bomb. He was arrested on a school bus headed to a track meet, and the bomb was rendered harmless.

Police said the boy could be charged with carrying a prohibited weapon into a school zone, a second degree felony.

EDIT:

JD beat me to it.

I know GameBoy Colors are used for stats and lap times on race tracks.
