With the price and all wouldnt a small netbook be a better "do all" option, especially when you mention the keyboard. I know the size is small on the actual unit, but needing a "real" keyboard seems to ruin some part of the small part. I have an ASUS netbook and other then the -TINY- 160g HD its an amazingly robust machine (even plays my nerd CRACK ok (World of Warcraft)). You mentioned Dreamcast and such, plays pretty much full speed on it. As do PS1 games. I LOVE the thing, but hate the tiny drive as i want to put so much more then I can on it. (new drive means cracking it open and voiding warrenty :( ). I guess the size part is key, Netbooks while small are no where near pocket size. Maybe a small part of me still feels burned by the GPX, I loved the thing and all it could do, but hated the low battery life (i modified a power pack for it, but it negated the size thing) and the crappy thumb pad. I never did mod mine with the better pad. Once the PSP came out i sorta quit using it. And nowdays with the Netbook I never use any of um.
Dont get me wrong it looks amazing and the size makes it perfect for a pocket, big upsides there. But nowdays i just need more (and with phones the way they are, they have my "tiny" portable stuff pretty much taken care of, MAN do i love my droid after that Iphone (opinion only)).
with all that said, im reading all this and want one still.
