disolitude, I have been dreaming up the idea of the ultimate portable device myself as well. If I was rich, I'd totally be interested in making something like this a reality.
Btw are you talking $600 without a plan or with a plan? Big difference. (unless by phone functionality you mean VoIP like Skype and what not)
Here are some features I was also thinking about...
- 2 triggers to each side (like a Dualshock controller). It sucks how the PSP only has 1 on each side because there are lots of PS1 games that make use of all four triggers. It'll make the thing thicker to accomodate the extra triggers but it should still be able to fit in your pocket.
- Full QWERTY thumb keyboard add-on attachment (sold seperately of course). The on-screen keyboards on iPod Touch/iPhone can't beat Blackberry. Since the thing will be a slider design, you can make the "gamepad" portion removeable so that you can replace it with the QWERTY keyboard if you want
- native XviD and MKV support
- native OGG, FLAC and support for other free audio codecs.
- PDA-like functions and basically all these minor features that are standard with iPod Touch/Zune HD/Archos/etc.
- Make sure the memory card expansion uses cheap media. Magic Stick is expensive (though I know they sell microSD/SD to Memory Stick Adapters on the cheap in China). microSD/SD is more consumer friendly.
- Allow linux install to encourage homebrew. I want pr0n games on this thing. I hate how these console dictators (Nintendo, MS, Sony) won't let third-parties develop Ao games on their platforms. Screw that. I want eroge on the go. I want eroge on home consoles too (Why call it a Xbox if there is no X-rated content?). Not just on my PC.
- That motion tilt technology that Zune HD has (ie. you can tilt your Zune HD to make turns with your car in PGR. I thought that was pretty neat)
