« on: January 19, 2008, 01:28:45 AM »
well im in the market for another handheld but idk what to buy. here are a list of every major handheld out there and what i think of them. oh if you find any interesting facts or know whats up, feel free to add what you think.


PSP
got 4 of them...dont need another

Game Boy Advance
too childish for me

Game Boy Advance SP
too childish for me

Game Boy
too childish for me

Nintendo DS
too childish for me. seems a lot funner to mod considering you can put a lot more stuff on there because of the size.

Nintendo DS Lite
too childish for me. heard its easier to mod than the regular ds. slicker looking.

Game Boy Color
too childish for me

Game Boy Light
too childish for me

Neo Geo Pocket
hard to find

Game Gear
too childish for me. hard to find.

WonderSwan Color
primitive

Neo Geo Pocket Color
primitive

Game & Watch
primitive

Microvision

Game Boy Micro
primitive

Virtual Boy
primitive

Lynx
hella primitive. if i remember it was the first color lcd handheld

TurboExpress
primitive

Game Boy Pocket
primitive

Sega NOMAD
primitive

WonderSwan
primitive

GP32
linux handheld that competed with the gameboy. primitive compared to gp2x

N-Gage
a phone into a handheld is bound to suck

N-Gage QD
a phone into a handheld again? the key layout doesnt work for gaming. slicker than the regular n-gage

Gizmondo
had a lot of potential but i think the company went into bankruptcy because some dip sh*t ruined it. from what i remember it had builtin wifi, camera decent lcd.

Sega Mega Jet
primitive

Swan Crystal
primitive

Cybiko
primitive

Epoch Game Pocket Computer
primitive

PocketStation
primitive

VG Pocket Caplet
primitive

GP2X
linux handheld with dual core process. seems to have a crappy 'dpad'. other than the psp/ds, this is the next handheld that seems to have any competition with them.

GP2X F200
next potential handheld?! same hardware as regular gp2x but has touchscreen, and real dpad.

Game.Com
it reminds me of the gp2x f200 except it sucked. still uses cartridges wtf??

Mega Duck/Cougar Boy
primitive

Watara Supervision
primitive

Zodiac Tapwave
pda into a gaming handheld is bound to suck

Ez MINI
a lot of potential. looks like the psp. has MMORPG online with subscription?????? only available in china...

Gameking
primitive

XGP
never coming out

Pandora
coming out in march/april 2008. already getting one so it doesnt matter lol.

JXD 301
looks like it has potential. 600 mhz process?? only thing that sucks is that it has 2 main facebuttons and no trigger. slick design tho. battery life is suppose to be pretty good.
