Title: Sony to make handheld
Post by: Samwise on May 14, 2003, 12:12:45 PM

I found this news on a Danish website, so I\'ll just translate some tidbits:

. Name: PSP
. Release: Late 2004
. Quite advanced (:p)
. 90 nm technology
. 4.5" TFT screen - widescreen - 480x272 - optimized for 3D (?)
. Supports MPEG-4
. Built-in stereo speakers
. Sound out
. Rechargeable battery
. Uses Sony\'s Universal Media Disc (UMD) - holds 1.8 gb
. USB 2.0 port
. Supports Memory Stick

I think that was it. :)

If you ask me thats great. Well not taking the ps1 cpu directly but updating it i think you have a winner for sure. With rechargeable batteries you wont run into a gamegear situation (eventhough i loved mine way over gameboy at the time). And risc architecture i belive is leaps and bounds better than cisc. There was some discussion about ps2 and xbox\'s processors etc because X was cisc and ps2 was risc and thus sparked a huge debate. Either way im happy.
