Just saw this story on slashdot:

Sony has announced the specs for its upcoming handheld gaming device, the PSP, at their PlayStation Meeting 2003. Most interesting is that this device promises Playstation 2 level graphics, a compact 1.8GB media, Wireless 802.11, USB 2.0, 7.1 channel Audio, and a 24bit 16x9 screen TFT LCD screen. Sony has called this device the 'Walkman for the 21st Century', and plans to allow the user to enjoy movies and music for the device, along with games.

Unless Sony have secretly developed cold fusion I still don't see how they are gonna power that thing!

Still though, it does look have the specs on paper to blow everything outta the handheld market...

All depends on battery life the game gear was superior hardware scuppered by useless battery life

ps2-level graphics ain't difficult, the dreamcast far surpassed them from the word go. the problem is gonna be power. if they make it heavy, it'll last maybe 3-4 hours. if they make it bloody expensive, they could get the same from Li-Polymer batteries which are much lighter.

we chall see - tho i'm happy with my GP32 for the moment
