It looks like they aren't marketing it in the same path as the DS or the PSP. I wonder how they'll present it to the gaming world . . .

That's a good question. How will it be presented to the gamers? There was only one sentence about gaming in that report right?

I think they'll slide it into the PC gaming world. They don't want to infringe on their 360 stuff, so instead of presenting it as an alternative to the xbox and 360 they are presenting it as an alternative to the laptop. I always thought of the PSP and DS as an alternative to buying the PS2 and Gamecube. This would be different.

I wonder if it'll come out with a gaming package? With a USB2 port, it would be simple to make a controller or keyboard to it for games.

Well, they definitely have a keyboard for it, which was shown in one of the other things. But I don't like the speculated price tag (500-1000).

that's tons cheaper than a laptop, but more than a handheld gaming device should be. That may be the key reason they're marketing it this way.
