Engadget's Polaroid PMP story in English

Face buttons are in the same position as on the Dreamcast, Xbox, and Xbox 360. Does this validate the Xboy rumors?

That looks like the thing Ray used to watch Wapner on in Rainman.

What does it have that the PSP doesn't? If the answer is nothing, then it won't sell.

I don't think it would sell even if it does have something the PSP and DS does not. Unfortunately nobody really cares about this product.

Depends on whether it allows homebrew.

What about the GP32 or GP2X - these things seem to be built for homebrew - has any had any experience with them?

Cool, a Surfboard with built in Videoplayer!

I had a GP32 a few Years ago. Quite a nice device. It blew the GBA away at
this point. Not any really good games though. But the emus were better than
anything released for NDS... what a shame, that was actually 3 years ago :(
