    good plan, seeing as the XboX 360 is now being overtaken in computing power by most breakfast cereals :rolleyes:

    Handheld gaming platforms are obsolete anyway imho, there's phones that can do that and more just around the corner.

    As long as it's as hackable and more powerful than the PSP I'll be extremely happy to use it as my pocket emulator :D

    Yes, another $200 paperweight! Now you can take your RROD on-the-go! (can you tell I'm a bit miffed about my xbox?)

    It'd be nice if they just tidied up the Winmo platform and encouraged companies like HTC to start making WinMo phones with decent hardware controls, faster CPUs and dedicated graphics chips.

    Gaming on Winmo is limited to emulation and the typically-terrible mobile games, which is a silly waste of a functional, existing platform.

    Of course it could be said that they've already missed the boat in that regard - WinMo phones have neither the desirability nor popularity of the iPhone or iPod Touch and they would have an uphill battle on their hands.

    I still think it might be better than putting another dedicated handheld console on the market.
    Maybe they could succeed where Nokia's n-gage failed?

    hmm well I dont expect to have graphics of the 360 but if it has graphics of say the xbox or ps2 and could play your xbox games and what not then it might be worth it not sure, well I will wait and see before passing judgment.
