As long as it shows "green" when something should be green, and you can see the buttons, who gives a shit?

HD Radio has been around for a while. It's fucking stupid and no one uses it. And it isn't "in HD", it IS just a branding phrase in this case.

i am going to watch Inland Empire on it and then call into Talk of the Nation next time David Lynch is on and tell him about how much i hate his movie and how i watched it on my Samsung Instinct.

I really just can't understand how any company at this point wants to compete against Nintendo in the portable market.

I like my Zune so I think this is cool ;p

Because there's still a market for gamers who dont like gimmicky bullshit. I'm 100% with yoshi on this one. My most played portable games are the psp GTAs and Final fantasy tactics.

All it would take is a company with their head out of their ass to destroy Nintendo in it. However, Nintendo has never faced a challenger that had it all together. The closest would have been the Game Gear and Lynx, but their battery life was atrocious.

Uh, PSP has way more marketshare than either of those ever had.

Frankly, I don't think anyone can beat Nintendo in the portable market except Nintendo (think N64/PS1 all over again). Simply because Nintendo continues to cater to such a wide demographic at a great price point. Let's face it, the portable market may never be what "we" want it to be because we're the minority.

That is pretty accurate. I mean, look at the ads. I can't count how many middle-aged female celebs have done DS commercials.

The PSP has really done the best. They have a huge marketshare compared to any other 2nd place handheld, even software-wise (which is admittedly abysmal in the West). If Sony can get a system that is difficult to hack (which may never happen--people seem to want to hack them more than any other size device), then they really could do some damage.
