'PalmPSOne' Takes PlayStation Into Handheld Domain

Anonymous Coward writes "'Some believe it was brought to Earth in the belly of an asteroid. Some believe it was created in a mad scientist's lab. Some believe Tom Brokaw's name is pronounced Tom Broke-off. These pages contain the real story. The unofficial PalmPSone, a custom-made portable PlayStation, was created over the course of about three months with a few hundred dollars (two units were made). Most would consider the cost of both time and materials to be far too high. Maybe, but it had to be done.'" This project is similar to Ben Heckendorn's PlayStation Portable, and there's an interview with Brian Gardiner, PalmPSOne's creator, over at IGN PS2, in which it's noted: "Gamers shouldn't be too disappointed since the nickel metal hydride batteries that power the PalmPSone provide a whopping one and a half hours of continuous gameplay."

I hope the games are short.

Is that sarcasm, or does he actually believe this?

My laptop can do twice that. Don't even think about comparing that battery life to an actual Gameboy, it's not even in the same league.
