It may be more powerful then DS and PHP, but that

Basically it's a loving win open source handheld game console that will probably stump the DSi, PSP, and other portable game systems.

Not when its twice the price.

Think about it. The DS and PSP used to be high in price. They drop.
This new thing is high in price, and it will drop.

I bet sourceforge will love this thing.

Also I don't see how it could possibly "stump" the DSi, PSP, and iPhone.

They will all continue to sell better than some obscure portable system.

You do have a good point. iPods continue to sell dispite the way they work.

It may be better than the DS, PSP, and iPhone. But, it sure isn't as affordable.

It also won't be very popular. Microsoft and Sony were big companies before they even released game systems. Nintendo started early. There isn't much chance of just saying "Hey we released a game system!" or you'll just get "Who are you?"

It just needs rubbing around

Won't work.

Besides that, the cell-phone wars are won on "app"s, the portable-gaming wars won on games. I don't see many productions for this being made, which will inevitably spell it's end, similar to the Palm Pre which had those smug commercials with some bald girl or something smiling smugly and talking without opening her mouth about the stupidest stuff in relation to the palm pre; you know, the ones that make you want to go out and buy 20 iPhones and give them to your friends before they can think of buying something as stuffty as the palm pre.

I guess I got off topic, but I don't care because those commercials piss me off.

Right. If major game making companies don't see the potential in it, then they really aren't going to make games for it. If they don't make games for it, then most of the gaming population wont bother to pay twice the ammount for something they can't even find something to play on.

But I personally would find it intersting to have.

I may get one of these. It looks pretty awsome. :)
