    Play PC games on new 1GHz, 20MB, XP compatable PPC.

    Just discovered this a few minutes ago. My dream of playing Master of Orion and untold other PC only games on a handheld is about to become reality. Very exciting to say the least.

    That thing looks like it's going to be very expensive.

    I won't be getting one. $1000+. Definitely worth it though.

    The're estimating 1000 bucks. Not bad considering that some of the high end PPC's are almost 700 dollars.

    The way the screen slides out looks kind of awkward. Does it fold up or is it fixed flat like that?

    Anywho, looks nice. Like someone else said..$1000 though.

    "There is a trend toward everything getting smaller."
    thats not what SHE said!

    i think its a good idea, but they say
    "We see this as 'This is your only computer'"
    i dont think so! 10 gigs? yeah, my page file is 10 gigs (not really, but still) i think for portable computing its OK, but the screen size should be atleast 10 inches, make it like those portable dvd players, its just too tiny man....4" screen for a pc? no way
