Basically what Barkley said, a handheld is a device that does not need to be plugged directly into a power source and can be played wherever you go.

So the Sega Game Gear was a home conosle system!  I kid but not too much...  I mainly remember being stuck near a power outlet using the power adapter for Game Gear considering it would eat through batteries/rechargeable batteries in no time.

Hey now, by that logic the original 3DS was also a home console. :P Game Gear was no Game Boy, but it still had a battery life of around 5 to 6 hours! Original 3DS was 3 to 5. Of course, the big difference is that the 3DS operated on a built in rechargeable lithium ion battery, making it way less costly and more convenient to power, but still..
