New SEGA console in the UK

Read and cry:

According to the Register, Sega is planning to launch a new handheld console next year, and it won't just play games.

The new console, called the Vision, will also play music and movies, have a built in camera, TV-Tuner and display e-books.

The UK will be the first place to get the Vision, and there are apparently a few prototypes to be won in London arcades. The video detailing the console has been pulled from YouTube already, but a few details survive. It will play "Java mini games", which suggests a similar experience to the "games" you can play on your cable-TV box at home.




Is like one of those tacky PMPs that can play Nes games...

 

Nomad Part II?

Actually, if it's cheap enough and can play Mega Drive games I might consider one...though I doubt it will see a US release as the TV tuner part will be useless...since US is switching to digital only broadcast in February '09.
