I meant to also add I liked the clam shell design much better. The gba sp, I thought, just felt more like a game machine in my hands than did the regular gba.
It has 40 megs of system memory, 24 megs of main memory, and 16 megs of A-memory, not really sure what those are though. http://www.nintendo.com/systems/gcn/specifications.jsp
"The question for me is how much are Sony and Nintendo really going to be [competing] head-to-head. Because the more and more I hear about [the PSP], it sounds like a [more] expensive machine. They've gotta spin that disc [media], which means they've gotta have good battery technology. They're gonna have [wireless networking], the screen, and everything else...it sounds like an expensive device."
Sounds like this guy doesn't think the hand warmer is going to be very successful against the GBA.
I don't think Nintendo got left behind by bad hardware at all, they just failed to release enough mainstream (aka mindless cookie cutter games), unless you're talking about the N64. That thing was plagued by both cartridges and not enough mainstream games.

And all it does is play music, it doesn't power a screen, back light, speakers or anything except to spin the disc.

Not to be an ass or anything but putting YMMV and then explaining it causes you to type more than spelling it out in the first place.
