Sony Handheld!!
Must preface this news by saying this thing isn’t due until 4th quarter 2004, but Sony have formally announced their plans to produce an “all-in-one portable entertainment platform“. The specs look very interesting…
Platform name: PSP(TM)
Display: Wide screen (16:9) TFT LCD with backlight (480 x 272 dots)
Disc medium: UMD - 60mm optical secured ROM disc with cartridge (1.8GB)
Video CODEC: MPEG4
Graphics: 3D Polygon/NURBS
Sound: PCM (built-in stereo speakers, stereo headphone output)
I/O: USB 2.0, Memory Stick(TM) slot
Battery: Rechargeable (lithium-ion)”
From yahoo.com
The gaming possibilities are tantalising to say the least… wonder how well this thing would play PS1 games?
