Here it is, a bunch of news about the EVE handheld. I don't know if you are interested in it, but I put it here anyway.

GiG,

It is S3/VIA brand. Integrated into the northbridge (CN400).

As for your question about the design....

The final Eve design actually consists of two parts: a screen unit and
a docking unit. The screen unit contains the CPU. The docking unit contains
batteries and the user interface. The device shown on our website is an
example of what a mated screen would look like to a standard video game
user interface docking unit. Because the device is a solid plastic
prototype, it's not very obvious that the two come apart; we're working
to correct that impression on the website.

Furthermore, the detachability means that the docking unit can (and some
versions will) have a joint in it that allows the screen to be flexed back
and forth. The flexible joint actually is an expensive feature, so we
leave it up to the user to decide if they want to pay for it or not. However,
flexible joint or not, the display is detachable and can be clipped onto
the docking unit so the whole assembly is flat and fits nicely within
a backpack, briefcase, or purse.

An additional feature this brings to users is that they can choose a
"docking unit" that is just a battery (no joystick, J-bend, etc), and
have a tablet-style portable media player if they so choose. Overall, this
design allows adult gamers to choose a user interface that fits their
hands comfortably--something that neither the PSP, DS, or GBA allows--
or make the portability compromise and choose a compact (but less ergonomic)
user interface if so desired.

You should redraw the shape of your machine, otherwise Eve CAN'T be inserted in a pocket!

Oh, what is the graphic chip brand? NVidia, ATI, Matrox, S3, Hamsters...? Here there are a lot of curious.

See ya

That's all.
I should ask about the CPU: an AMD would be great, but a problem for the batteries.




My god, it was in the wrong section! Hando, did you use your third eye?
 
Dont worry bout getting flamed, coz u actually wrote a legitimate Topic, unlike some one else, who shall remain nameless

It looks like a sweet machine for playing emus and such, but i dont see a use for much else (no keyboard or mouse)
 
IMO it will fail, but it could build up a good scene, i probably wont get one though.

BTW, that other guy got flamed cause he was a moron, not because of the eve.

It says somewhere on the EVE site that you will be able to connect a keyboard (and mouse?)...
 
The Mobile Affairs Act of 2004 served to mobilize and secure world citizens from boredom attacks while home and abroad. This exceedingly complex mission requires a focused effort from the mobile masses, if we are to be successful. To this end, one primary reason for the establishment of the Ministry of Mobile Affairs (MoMA) was to provide the unifying core of the vast network of PC games and personal digital entertainment in efforts to free the fun.

Preserving your mobility...Freeing the fun


CHEESE!
