PlayStation Portable

i already have a portable playstation, and mine has better battery life. plus, it can play SNES, NES, gameboy, genesis, hundreds of arcade games, just about any PC game, and, oh yeah, any game they make for linux or Mac.
:) through the power of emulation, i have a completely portable machine that i can use to play more games than any other single platform.
it can emulate just about anything you throw at it, since it has a spiffy, wicked fast processor inside (not the fastest in the world, but it'll do in a pinch), and it has enough keys and buttons in the built-in controller to bind to even the most complicated of game controllers - plus USB to connect additional players if you like. the best part, though, apart from the ~5 hour battery life - and only a little less under heavy load, even spinning CDs, i've found - is the amazing thin, small, high-definition LCD screen. it's a thing of beauty. another perk is that it has the ability to play games over the internet, wirelessly, with 802.11 (though the manufacturer refers to it as "airport")
yep, it's an iBook.
a little heavier (but not much!), and more general-purpose than the portable PS1, but infinitely more useful
so take these stories about a portable this, a hacked up that, or a MAME the other, and stick them.. well, i don't care where you stick them.
