Still in the early development stages, but iRiver is certainly big enough to see a project like this through. This should make the handheld market VERY interesting in the next year or two (not that the 4 platforms already out aren't interesting).

Personally, I think competition is a good thing.

And this is related to the gp2x because....?

 

[tekt5]

looks really ugly but it could be good

 

[ZodiacfreaK]

Hey Draken! anyways yeah I would have to see the specs first but right now it doesnt look very promising.

 

[craigix]

Well those buttons are really well designed...

 

[ZodiacfreaK]

I dont see any problem with the four buttons on the right side, I mean I do have four fingers on that hand

 

[Draken]

What, you mean you people's thumb isn't that flexible to reach those 4 buttons easily? Buch o' sissies.

Hello mister roswell conspirercies ,well your really going to be the first to say how good a handheld you dont supply is.

 

[Eolair]

Good luck fighting head on with Sony :rolleyes:

​

Being a handheld supplier doesn't mean you can't critic handhelds anymore.

​

I think some old playing card companys doing ok at that but i'm not sure.......................................

 

[TyBO!]

Well... those graphics aren't PSP-killer quality.

You mean Nintendo, right?
(Pretty interesting, starting out as a gamecard company in 1889 or something)

Looks like crap. It will not come anywhere near successfully competing with the PSP. It will reach about the same market share as the N-Gage (probably less).

The ad campaign will turn around in the 1Q of the product cycle to say "Oh, well, it's really just a media player. I mean, you can play some games on it, but it's not like we ever said we were going to compete with the PSP or something."

I guarantee it.

Heh, if its any good of course i will supply it, but I don't think those 4 buttons would be useable, and how would you hold it to have all four fingers on them exactly?

 

[WoD]

​

You know how you crack one off? A bit like that, only you're going to have to grow some longer fingers.

 

[NzoMatrix]

I dont believe that pic is of the actually unit. Its just a pic of the iriver PMP-120 which play morphun games.

 

[iignotus]

Good point, unless they're recycling that design.

​

Well, if you won't supply only because of the buttons don't worry! Don't bother with those buttons 'cause this is a pic of the old iRiver multimedia player with a flash game on it. Definetely not the real game console. but iRiver PMP-120.

 

[rabbits with hats]

For a psp killer, That game looks a bit naff. :rolleyes:
