I wonder if its video card could handle a PSX emulator.

That would make a sweet little gaming system with every PSX iso I like, along with every SNES, NES, Genesis, and Gameboy rom ever made.

Looks neat, but as much as I hate typing on a blackberry, I can't see wanting to use something that small.

Why not just get a PSP for 1/10th the price?

We just picked up one of those for each of our senior network engineers, they are 50/50 on it. Couple love it, others hate it. They cant really complain, they got them for free.

Thats all one really needs for something that size, IMO. I have an uber desktop for when I'm there, the EEpc does everything I need a portable lil system like that to do, and it's 1/4 the price retail over buying one on Ebay here.
