no, you're making up own criteria.

a device that can be carried around and played in your hands is a handheld.

Awesome. I guess my laptop is a handheld?

And I guess this the 1990's version of the Nintendo switch?



You could connect the AV cable and controller from a genesis to it and play it on your tv like a home console. Yet, you'll have a hard time finding anyone that would argue that the Nomad is a home console.

You can play games on your laptop while carrying it and standing/walking???? Wow thats impressive!!!!!

Yes, in many ways Nomad & TurboExpress were poorly executed early attempts at the concept Switch is aiming for. Just like the Power Glove & Sega Activator were poorly executed early attempts at motion/gesture controls that would later become popular with the Wii Remote & Kinect. Also just like the Virtual Boy was a poorly executed early attemp at a virtual reality headset which is now being tried again by a plethora of big tech companies.
