handhelds

a quick note: Nintendo DS is actually good and PSP disappoints me. I will probably own one of each.

The horribly buggy launch of the GP2X aside, the Koreans take the prize for promising handhelds, even if they may or may not be vaporware. First this, which Macromedia devnet informs me plays Flash files (w00t):

My only issue with this - cuz this looks better'n most anything out there - where the hell are the fire buttons? This is something that makes me crazy about devices that claim to play games.
