Great specs for a handheld!

Competitive to what though? I doubt this thing will sell for under US$200....

Sounds really good - but it's going to cost a fortune. I would imagine it would start off aimed at the NGage, wipe it off the market (not that that's going to be hard), then chase the Game Boy. Hmm...
Oh, and I love the signature pic Civic.

I wouldn't put too much stock in this, to be honest.
I mean, I'm still waiting for the PS2 to run 66 million polygons per second. I'm sure part of this is that they're hoping to do to Nintendo's handhelds what they succeeded at with the Dreamcast.

I hope that they try and then realise that it won't happen, Dreamcast (any Sega Console for that matter) never had an installed userbase of 100 million and constantly outselling PS2 in Japan.
The only thing PSP will be competing against will be Sony's own PDAs.
