Hello everyone!
Well, I have had it with finding the ideal portable. Thank you guys for all your input in looking for it. I defaulted to a PSP in the end because it seemed most suitable. Unfortunately, it was plagued by slow SNES emulation, not that great battery life and a web browser that seems cool at first, but then when you type your first url, you realize that this was not made to type haha.
So a while back, during my search for the ideal portable, I decided to contact my old friends from college. Luckily, Notre Dame has a good network for alumni and I was able to reconnect with some friends…more importantly engineering friends. We founded our company (Inverted, Inc.) are currently working with a R&D company on a new device that would meet all of my capricious demands.
This portable is being designed with two purposes in mind: 1) for the gamer in all of us and 2) for the professional in all of us that needs email, the web and common business applications. This will have a way to comfortably play games, unlike PDAs and cell phones and at the same time be small and professional looking with an easy way to type in order to use it for anything.
We are finally getting to the end of the design part and into the phase where we have to give away lots of money. My question to my friends at Digital Press is would you guys be interested in such a device? Do you think that we can actually make something of this, or is this simply my personal dream?
Thank you,
Jeremy
