iRiver's G10: Gaming Handheld

[The Former DMiller]

Well, I think that the problem is that those earlier devices tried to target Nintendo's market of games. They need to create their own market, or try to improve on another handheld market. Don't you think that there is a potential for a device that combines MP3, video, and game playback? The popularity of the new MP3 players offering video playback is amazing, as well as the amount of downloads of tv shows like Lost down to the small devices.

What you are describing is the iPod. The closest competitor, which I believe is iRiver, has something like 3% of the market. If Apple were to introduce a device like what you are describing it may be successful, but I don't think any other player in the MP3 market could succeed introducing a handheld like that. No one has the cache of Apple to introduce a gaming function to their MP3 player and make it competitive with Nintendo.

No one thought my IGN mock review was funny. I soak my head. *soak*

I thought it was hilarious. I think we are just all accustomed to the crazy stuff that you post that we don't feel the need to make a public note of it's greatness anymore.
