Now think of the size of the gba cartdige, go ahead, hold it up to the screeen, those are real mesauremtns. That is the size of the drive, which hold the cd inside. The cd can hold approx 1gb of space at present time!!. Now think in 3 years the power of pocket pcs. The code and structure put into the shear power of pocket pcs can make a handheld capaable of at least ps2 graphics or more, IN A HANDHELD. Now like i said, this is not a rumour i heard, nor official. Just and idea me and my friend thought of. Just imagine a gba with a cd drive on top with sweet graphics.

Would increase cube sales as well to all the people who owned just the handheld and wanted to play the games on a TV. Specially if the cube 2 is backwards compatible.

also, don't expect PS2 power in a handheld. Cost is a major factor in handhelds. A PS2 power handheld would cost like $200 - $300. Also, the battery life would be terrible.

Jollus, there wouldn't be a need for a memory card, at least not in the way you describe. Since this would be a portable device, you could take it with you anywhere. That eliminates the need for removable memory cards. So, the memory would really just be built into the system, much like a Palm. Now, as for memory expansion, that would be just one of the many cool accessories this thing could have.
StRaNgE, that would be a bad idea. You do not want to merge the portable gaming and console gaming industries. If the next Gamecube was directly compatible with the next Game Boy, 2-D gaming as we know it would disappear. That, in my opinion, would be a bad move.
Mingesium, it's not like this thing would be released anytime this year. And besides, Nokia's N-Gage is going to be causing so much ruckus, that I think Tokerev and his friend should wait until the N-Gage hype dies down before working on this idea of their's. So, price is not an issue, for this device would not be released for some time. In fact, it'd have to wait 'til the next Gamecube is out, which is probably going to be another 3 or 4 years.

Gameboy (and color): NES
GBA: SNES
next: N64
etc.
That'd make sense to me.

Word. 2D games should never disappear. It's a nice break from 3D

As for a memory they could have a SD slot similar to Digital Camera were the card locks in and is hidden away so there is little chance of it getting accidentally ejected and have a smaller version come with the machine.
As for the screen they could possible use Kodak's new LCD technology if the price is right. (Rick has a thread on this board about it.)
As for Blu-Ray don't hold your breath that Technology is owned by Sony and I don't think they would lend or sell it (fairly) to one of its competitors.

Think of this: how much progress have we made in the development of new computer technology in the past five years? With what we will have five years from now, the majority of those problems presented will no longer be.

QuoteIt's not owned by Sony; it was a joint development project by Hitachi, LG Electronics, Matsushita Electric Industrial, Pioneer Corporation, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, and Thomson Multimedia. As for Nintendo using this medium, it would also be alot easier than you think. Now that the technology is out, obviously Nintendo could easily research it and perfect it to their needs.
As for Blu-Ray don't hold your breath that Technology is owned by Sony and I don't think they would lend or sell it (fairly) to one of its competitors.
