It will probably have like laptop components inside.
Nintendo's success also comes from them constantly remaking old favorites for the handheld. M$ wont have such a library to pull from.
That xboy crap is too expensive i woudnt buy it.
psone had a 33mhz processor, and like 2mb of ram if that i think it was more like 640kb, but it would be cool if sony made a handheldQuote:

Think about it, it would look like a cdplayer but have a screen that pops up so you can watch games. The psOne only has a 133mhz processor in it and 32mb of ram (I think).
There are two things in MS's favor, here.
1) Sega. Sega is looking to get into the mobile games arena, and they're specifically developing for phones and...
2) MS Pocket PC. It's a pretty decent developement environment for games.
Personally, I'd be glad to see some competition in the mobile arena. I fricking hate Nintendo.
Eventually I'll just get a laptop and not have to worry about handhelds or portable consoles. Because of the way things are going in the mobile graphics market you should be able to play some really good games new laptops.
