Default Neat compact design for a handheld w/ QWERTY

http://www.danger.com/consumers_hiptop2.php#

Just click on the hoptop2 demo link on the side. I really like the flip around screen. If something like that had a small HDD I could see it being the perfect MP3 player, camera, and game device. EDIT: Hmmm that thing is even a phone.

I was hoping that the PSP would be a more serious PDA. A hand held / PDA / Portable Media player would have me sold.

I wonder what the chances of a PSP PDA refresh are... or MS getting the Pocket PC more series about games?

It's too big for being a practical phone, the camera is, just like with most cellphone built-in camera, a gadget (640x480), and it doesn't have a MP3 playback feature (Or I didn't find it on this website).
It still needs more than a harddrive to be perfect if you ask me. :P

Buy a good PDA, and install some SNES/PC-Engine/Megadrive emulators.
It doesn't work that great with SNES due to the lack of buttons (and ergonomy), but it's cool enough.
