If so when?

I would imagine Micro$oft would not leave any stone unturned.

Um...no? :p

The XBOX is large enough as it is, and Nintendo's domination of the handheld market exceeds even Sony's for the regular console one.

Expect a few competitors to crop up, such as the Nokia one, but don't expect Nintendo to go anywhere but #1 for at least the next few years.

probley nmot in my opinion..the hdd and dvd take up the whole length and width..unless they use one of those micro hdd..but do they make them up to 8 gigs? how would ya use games they do use the micro drives? bigger microdrives and store he gaems on them..that would b cool..but i dont think thy would do tht cause that would make the already easy piriting even easier! but its really good idea..just probley make it really expensive..:-P

Check out the "What's Happening" section of the March 2003 edition of CPU magazine.News Item entitled "Is there an Xboy in the works?" Has to do with the company Memory Logix and a chip they built with a 0.13 micron process and a 6mm core.Claims the Xboy is a "potential" ;) application.
The brave man is not he who feels no fear, For that were stupid and irrational; But he, whose noble soul its fears subdues, And bravely dares the danger nature shrinks from.
