I bought a copy of MAD magazine (haven't for about 10 years) and there's an interesting handheld ad in it.
Now I haven't been keeping up with handheld/palm devices so this appears to have come out of the blue.
Here's the blurb:
------------------------------------------------------
* Get console quality gaming with analog controller, integrated triggers and action button array [it has a better interface than N-gage]
* Play wireless with up to 8 players using built in bluetooth
* Listen to MP3s on stereo speakers or included earbuds [earbuds = headphones + marketing crap]
* Watch videos and view your photo library on the big, hi-res, backlit color display
* Manage your claendar and contacts. Create Microsoft Word compatible documents
* Choose from more than 19,000 Palm OS applications
-------------------------------------------------------
So it's a Palm based gaming system with bells and whistles which is powerful enough to run Tony Hawks 4 and has the cash to take out fullpage ads on the inside cover of magazines.
Is this a threat to the GBA and are Microsoft throwing their weight behind it?
There's an interesting quote at the top of the page which reads:
"GBA eat your heart out"
- official XBOX Magazine July, 2003
So what do you lot think?

They would say that, though, wouldn't they?
They seem to slate Nintendo at every possible oppurtunity. It's almost like they're trying to convince themselves that they've made the right choice with Microsoft and the Xbox.

I had a look at their titles page, they've Spy Hunter, Doom II, THPS 4, Duke Nukem something or other and that's all I can remember. Still if it can run some next-gen console launch games that's quit impressive on its own.
I think theres a thing about it in C&VG mag afew months ago.

The only handled I can associate with that description is the GP32 - which really is a little box of tricks. A bit bulky, but far more functional than the GBA.
Doubt it's that though.
