Can't say I'm holding my breath on this one. Thoughts?

Can't say I'm holding my breath on this one. Thoughts?
I like the look of the system but I don't think this thing will ever take off.
It looks pretty neato, but I doubt it'll get much market share. iRiver makes pretty good products -- for example, the original H10, which soundly whooped the iPod's ass in terms of quality -- but they aren't bought by the vast majority of consumers. They do pretty well for themselves, but they're not number one. I can see this thing turning a decent profit for them, but becoming a bonafide handheld contender will take a lot of clever marketing and some luck as well.
Will this actually use physical games? Or will it be more like a PMP?
No joystick? No thanks. If a system is based on 3D games it needs to have analog control, no exceptions (that is unless it has a touch screen ).
Mostly just play Nintendo 64. If you've got games PM me! Cart only.
will the sea of handheld systems never end. wake me when Apple makes one.
lol correct me if im wrong but isnt that a photoshopped video game screen on there? Its the exact same screen shot in both images! lol

I don't really think they're trying to fool anyone. I doubt they even have a working model yet. The image is just to give you an idea of what it might be like.Originally Posted by AKay

4 and 8 gigbayte internal storage?

how about the gizmondo widescreen

Ok time for my handheld talk:
GP32 was made by a company called Gamepark, the company for some reason made a sub-division called Gamepark Holdings. Well the two companies split up and GPH released the GP2X which is aimed at being the ultimate free source machine, although it was released with a shitload of bugs. Gamepark took a different route by offering PSP-like qualities in their XGP, which has yet to be released.
About the Gizmondo Widescreen, that thing might have caused the death of the original Gizmondo. It was announced before the original even hit the US! Comeon if that's not poor managemen then I don't know what is. Anyways it's supposed to be released sometime late this year. It's going to be at CES but I doubt it will ever be released.
that guy whos playing it needs to clip his nails, lazy bum..
so right now in the US we have 5 handheld formats with the GBA, DS, PSP, Gizmondo and N-Gage. Now 3 (iRiver, GP2X, XGP) more want to enter the market and the Gizmondo is already looking for a redesign. Now is there anything else in the handheld market that's coming out?Originally Posted by Slipdeath
Also what are the odds that we see the GP2X and XGP in the US?
Well actually Phil the Gizmondo Widescreen is a new platform all together and not a redesign and that is why so many Gizmondo fans feel ripped off now. The GP2X I guess will never really see a US launch similiar to the GP32. But it was made with an international thought of mine. Some retailers in the US like Gp32z.com carry them. There hasn't been much detail about the XGP besides those pictures and some specs, I doubt if it will even have a Korean launch. Oh and that digiblast that it is popping up in random parts of Europe is kind of an oddball.
and then there's all those edutainment handhelds, leapster, vsmile pocket, leapster xtreme (?)
That's a REALLY Good-Looking machine. I may buy one some day just because it looks so good.Originally Posted by classicb
