Microsoft to Introduce GBA-competitor?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday January 7, 2002 @03:55AM from the xbox-in-the-palm-of-your-hand dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It seems that Nintendo will have a competition in the handheld market soon. ZDnet has an article that says Microsoft's plan to introduce a 'Media Pad' which includes among other things 'serve as a portable game player in conjunction with Microsoft's Xbox video game console.' So I guess the news I heard regarding their interest in the portable industry will soon come true, the question is, can they take the crown from Nintendo?"

In my humble opinion, I was expecting a very "big" announcement from Apple (Steve Jobs) today -- it looks like MS has, once again, taken over.

Actually, I heard a rumor that MS was working on a wireless RPG that allows pædophiles to stalk young children - that's two, two, two demographics in one! The name for the project was Poké-Potter
