I was actually very interested in on of these. They seemed like an awesome multimedia device.

But the price tag of $500 killed it for me.

is it not just a rip off cheap version of a PSP ?

Actually, I remember hearing about these BEFORE the PSP. And, in all honesty, this had more capability in my eyes. It had a built-in camera, built-in GPS, it could play videos, view photos, watch videos, listen to music. It's pretty much a pimped out PSP...

With a hell of a lot less developer support. Even when it came out sadly.

It's normal for non-violent offenders in California to only serve a portion of their sentance (I've heard 20% is standard). Not enough room in the jails, etc etc.
