I have a few diffrent ideas for the new portables. On my home page I have an idea for the Xbox Portable. What does everyone else think is my question?

I really would like an Xbox portable. I definitely would buy one. My two basic criteria that need to be met for the design would be that it has a) a large display, b) fits comfortably in my hand (like an Xbox controller), and c) is actually portable. You can't meet all three to 100% so you have to find a good balance.
I have a question though. Why in your design do you have a full QWERTY keyboard?

In the features, I don't know if I had this, but Windows Mobile 2005 or Windows Mobile Vista will run. I thought it would like a keaboard. In my mobile Halo (that I will soon put on a site) will wave a 3" by 1.5" touch screen (for menus etc.) in the place of the keaboard. You say you would like to but one. I'm estimating they will be around... $200-$350, for all the features. Possibly more!

I really would love an Xbox Portable. My attention is totally fixed on my DS right now though (until the Wii comes out). Two of my friends have Xbox's and they have some awesome games (Fable, Halo, Conker:Locked and Reloaded). I would almost definetly buy one. I'm not interested at all in the PSP, what do you guys think about all the handhelds out today.

I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of portable systems. I had a Gameboy when I was a little kid, but that's about it. I don't even have an mp3 player like an iPod or anything. I guess I just never have the urge to play portable games, when I'm out of the house I'm usually preoccupied with something, either riding my bike, or watching a movie, or hanging out with friends. Waiting isn't a big deal for me either, so I don't need something to "fill up the time" so to speak.
I can appreciate people enjoying their portable devices though as I'm sure there a great way to occupy yourself while you wait for someone, or are on the bus. When I took the CalTrain every morning I have to admit I would've enjoyed having a DS or PSP around, even something to watch some Futurama shows with. I think I'm contradicting myself here, oh well!
Xbox portable would be pretty sweet since I already have a bunch of Xbox games. The one issue would be size, but if they design it properly it'd be awesome.

My favorite handhelds today are the DS, and I sort-of like the PSP, not all of it though. The Gameboy Advance and SP were pretty neat too. I'm almost ready to put another design for a portable, I call it Halo, up. I might do that today. What do 'yall think on some features? If anyone has AutoCAD can they use it on my design for Halo?

OK. I got the Halo on a site. http://me.starbuck.googlepages.com/halo
Just a quick question: How large is the PSP screen? (in inches)

Eric: You would like this Xbox actually "portable". How 'bout a carry case? And What are some other ideas for a portable?
