No, and I don't know a single person who ever had. Instead, I know over a dozen of people who have N-Gages in their pockets. GameGear may have been a cool device (for that half an hour, which it worked with batteries), but really, nobody actually bought or played with it. GameGear is one of the reasons I like N-Gage: it's not technically the best, but it's cheap.
"Then Nokia tried making a gaming system (NGAGE) and that failed miserably."
My observations are that N-Gage QD is actually one of the most popular Nokia's mobile phones. It's not perhaps the best portable gaming device, but it's totally neat as a plain multimedia phone. And apart from PSP, N-Gage is actually the best attempt to date to compete Nintendo in handheld gaming device market. And it's really not the first one in that field. Little respect, please.
I didn't read the article, and in fact I don't have a clear opinion about this thing, but one thing is for sure: in all these years, about 100% of all the engineering/kernel development arguments Linus has stated have sooner or later proven him right. So I'll just slip to the safe side, and agree with him totally. Spec no.1: Linus is always right. Wait a minute...
There's also two Easter eggs not mentioned in the article, because they're very difficult to find. In the first you can see someone in the background mumbling something, which is clearly a decent part of a dialogue. In the second, for one frame, you can see Hayden Christensen actually acting (it's uncertain, however, is it the real Hayden Christensen or just a Hayden Christensen 3D-model).
The special effects are amazing! I mean, at some point I thought Hayden Christensen could act, and only later I realized Lucas had just replaced him with a Hayden Christensen 3D-model. I'll have to fetch the download to make sure...
As a wedding jewel, a "natural" diamond represents the long process two people go through in their relationship. Maybe these new diamonds represent the new kind of relationship between people: "Diamond Age: Get married now! It's cheap, and over before you know it!"

That's because for this young hip software company, tomorrow is today, and today is yesterday! You heard me.
This just came in from Nokia: "Hey, don't you worry about blank. Let me worry about blank."
Internet Tablet 2005 Software Edition is based on Linux. A program doesn't need to have the word "Linux" on it to become Linux-based. Just to note.
But he didn't exclude the original Star Wars for NES, or the vector-based Star Wars space shooter. Those were excellent games too.

Step 1: Install Windows.
Step 2: Get yourself a Linux installation cd.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: A dual boot system ready to go!
Well, George Lucas has done some right things before, too. Like letting someone else write and direct the sequels to New Hope.
Anyway, my last post got only +1, which strengthens the universal truth that prequels are always better.
I think George Lucas got lucky with these two points.
You mean... they weren't intentional?! Damn! I thought I'd get +5 Informative.

...will it run Linux? Seriously, that makes one heck of a server, if it's sold below 500. And managing Apache with that controller! I just can't wait.
