    Pretty much the onlythings that don't qualify as Handhelds are cellphones and PDAs.

    It's because it's a dedicated gaming system that it counts as a handheld.

    Don't forget the Game.coms.

    Other less-famous handhelds are the Gizmondo, GP32, GP2X, XGP... WonderSwans (original, color and crystal). Oh, yeah, and the PcketStation.

    You are correct. Handhelds in this case refers to LCD games that do not accept carts. They are lumped together as Handhelds for convenience.

    Handhelds which accept carts are generally listed by their name.

    thanks neuropolitique, you cleard that up a bit. but to just make surre, anything listed as the system being handheld is not an actual system but comes as a seperate game on a handheld that can only play that game correct? sorry to be redundant but thanks.
