    Could be half-true ...

    Something seems to be cooking in the digital-kitchen... but I bet it's a bit premature to announce anything just yet.

    Wow.. I have mixed feelings about this.

    First, it seems to be a portable system that’s not very portable. So for mobile gaming it's pretty ridiculous. You'll need a "man purse" for this one.

    But if the price is reasonable and it will run any windows software it could tap into the palmtop market. That would be useful. If it only runs built in apps like the photo editing shown, then I don't see any use for it.
    It says more will be revealed on march 2nd. Interesting! Thanks for the link.

    I've been following Oragami .. That's like carrying around an Etch A Sketch. You people hate the DS size? This is like a LUGGABLE. Might as well go with a tablet PC in my book.

    Looks very 'un-cool' as a gaming device. As a pocket-pc of sorts, it's probably great, but games would undoubtedly suffer. Tremendously.
    I'm starting to miss buttons...

    It's funny how different websites are interpreting this. Game sites think its a new gaming platform. Phone sites think it's a new communication device. Paul Thurrott says its the 9 inch Tablet PC MS talked about last year. Whatever it is, I hope thats just an early prototype because it is UGLY.

    It looks a lot like the nokia 770, which makes me suspicious. It could be a hoax. Or it could be for real.

    It doesn't have to be like this, at all. Try to imagine.

    Dude, the Nokia 770 is 230 g at 141 x 79 x 19 mm, smaller than the original DS !!

    The DS Lite is 218g (compare to 275g for the current DS) at 133mm x 73.9mm x 21.5mm.

    However, the 770 runs Linux, has a 800x480 touch screen and works great with its Opera browser over WiFi (does VoIP, messaging/IM, email, and so on and so forth).

    Where did you get the idea that it's much bigger than the DS -- it is in fact as big as the DS Lite, more or less.

    Surprised?

    I came across this apalling picture:


    No need to comment on this ... yuk!

    However, this looks a lot more interesting, perhaps even more so than the nokia 770 device:
