Er.. you're talking about using an earlier version and running old ROMS and divx flicks on it? That's the kind of thing I'd get one for, but at the $400 price point, it's a hard sell.

That's what we've got. Able to play all our GBA games, plus the new games, the touch screen works really well (although I wasn't sold on the idea until I had played with it for an hour) and the games are pretty original. There's a few remakes of N64 titles but the interface provides a lot of depth to them and the original titles are bloody great. Voice commands and actually "touching" the game sound pretty corny, but by buggery they work exceptionally well. Battery life is ultra hardcore too.
