Those hardware specs are just amazing! Once again, I bow down to Sony 
Nothing less was to be expected, even the price is surprising, i would've thought it would be around 500$. Nothing at all will be comparable to the PSP NGP in terms of portable gaming.

It's the right hardware to launch when they're trying to fend off all their competitors out there; especially the new ones like iPod Touch/iPhone and Android gaming sets.
This actually makes me lust for dedicated gaming platform again.

It seems that Carmack is advocating the technical capabilities of this device based on the low-level APIs common to consoles in general.
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/01/joh...-the-sony-ngp/
I recall that there were quite a few technical hurdles to overcome with virtual-texturing in Rage for the iPhone, and even more on Android, based on the available APIs and lack of policy/documentation for extreme cases.
Low level APIs will allow the Sony NGP to perform about a generation beyond smart phones with comparable specs.

awesome device, and yet another one with a QHD screen resolution alonside the Motorolla Droid X and Q-trix, as well as the Iphone4.
i hope Nokia is sensible enough to realise that 800x480 is yesterdays standard.

Otherwise, I honestly find 3D screens a cyclic fad - remember Jaws 3D? - that will eventually be overlooked.
I'd rather play great games (read: Little Big Planet 2) that are more modern than some decade old, if not older game.
