the way you describe music is that those with money should have more access to music creation devices then those without. thats not really fair low-gain. not all of us can buy new platforms to get midi support. thats why i support any development for midi support on the various LGPT platforms. i know some one can use it.
i dont mean to come off like i am pissed off at you or trying to be disrespectful in any way but i think there is a flaw in your logic low-gain.
I'll simply put it this way... If you can afford to spend the $100+ on the PSP for video games... you can probably squirrel away another $100 for a GP2X
Musical Creation.... while being something that comes from within and should never be handicapped due to lack of money... requires a small investment
from the musician. $100 can be paid for with a little over a days worth of pay at any given place of employment with the minimum wage where it's at.
That means that even a 16 year old can go out and get a job at mcdonalds to pay a little bit of money to get a piece of hardware thats going to help
with their musicial creation. I say little because it really is a small amount of money compared to a lot of things.. I'm building a microphone pre-amp right now thats worth about $3000... and all it does it amplify 4 microphones at the same time. haha
Not to mention. if you are looking for midi sequencing options for your midi gear.. that tells me you had the money to buy the midi gear 
Anyways... If you are wanting to get a gp2x, the reality is, if you want it bad enough you'll probably find a way to get one in order to do what you feel is
required to make music.
And while i'm not made or upset or anything of that nature... to make a financial argument that $100 is a lot of money to some, but not others...
is pretty silly. More often than not, i'm living with $100 or less in my bank account. Not proud to admit that, but i'm very much aware that $100 can be A LOT of money. But i also know that if i knew of something that i felt personally was going to help me and my music move up to a new potential, and it was as affordable as say a PSP.. i'd probably be willing to put in a little extra here and there to eventually save up and buy it. 
The likely hood of the Dingoo obtaining midi options is very slim. Even if that pigtail that i added onto that Dingo worked, and M-.-n was able to
get midi working on it.. I'd be 1 of maybe a handful of people who could probably do the modification to the dingoo in this community and not distroy it. there's virtually NO room in that thing. There wouldn't be very many Dingoo's out there with midi anyways because of that reason. Makes for a great business venture to offer the service, But it's not even an option to anyone.
PSP is a bit more realistic as it's already been obtained, just not put into serious motion. Get the information into enough motivated people, and you
could find yourself w/ midi on your psp. It would require probably paying m-.-n to write the code, or talk him into having LGPT be open source and allowing the masses to change it at their own free will.. but it probably would have more chances of seeing the light of day that way.
Not everyone is midi oriented though. And if you aren't using midi hardware than by all means use a psp or dingoo or your laptop or what ever...
But the GP2X is hands down the best hand held midi supporting platform under $150 that i have found out there.
But thats just my opinion. What do i know though. i'm just a native son to midwestern fly over state. haha
*time to go to work!*
