A lot of ignorance today (Remote play and Eyetoy never existed)

and which bring's up my point it's not know as the first, its known as the smallest at the time for a handheld! the one for springboard was larger and was a lil bulky to say the least.

Okay, but it is possibly the smallest and first. The GB one was officially released prior to the handspring one. When talking about this, we need to set the goalposts correctly.

Also, not only is the line there blurred (reveal vs release), but one is in the context of gaming and the other isn't.

"but one is in the context of gaming and the other isn't."

Since when would Gaming matter to that of a point of the concept? the Hardware or method was invented and then the Method was expanded on it's use, that's what innovation is. Its not the invention of itself its the expansion of said method's use! to say that two people or two comapny cannot see the same idea for such a use and that one is copying the concept of another is like saying that a car breaks down in ohio and one in Mexico. one has a women driving and one has a male driver. both have a problem that the Fan belt broke. both see this problem because the Lady has to get her stocking's off  maybe slower than the guy with the belt to uses as a quick fix fan belt does that mean because the guy got his out first that the lady copied the guy's use for a belt , and instead she used her stocking? No it just means they both developed a process to fix the issue at hand. the stocking is less resistence to cutting but more ability to stretch, while the belt has less stretching but more ability to resis cutting. both fix the issue but one is not the same as the other.

there is no goal post's its not the first because HP has

Like i said Innovation is not the same as invention they are very close in How they innovate but one is more on creative of said method, and the other is more on the creative use of said method or expansion of said created Method. both is at its heart Innovative use of creation! but both are not a copy of each other.
