I need to be wired (or wireless). like, ALL THE TIME.
No, actually. the Dreamcast OS runs on Hitachi SH4 hardware, which windows CE hasn't supported since a much earlier version.
WinCE originally supported ARM, MIPS, and SH3/4 CPUs. SH4 was never used in handhelds, AFAIK.

Also, you'd have to emulate the sound and video hardware. Something that's only new being done with some success on a modern PC.
soooo... ReactOS/Wine gets a boost?
Jarre's Laser harp was nothing more than a trigger set. An impressive one, though.
I remember it being totally awesome when I was a kid. Going back and seeing the concert video recently showed me how utterly naive I was :P

Good showmanship.
Am I the only other one that remembers Adventures in Odyssey? I loved that show, so much good voice talent. Many of the actors do a lot of work elsewhere, I've heard them in everything from commercials to video game voiceovers, as well as a couple of current cartoon shows.
WII! I want to hug it and pet it and stroke it and call it... waaaait.
I'm actually in the middle of playing through Metroid Prime 2 in anticipation :)
BeOS 5 Pro doesn't like P4-class machines, unfortunately. This uses a core closer to a P3, so I don't know if it would work or not. It might have issues with the chipset.
The free BeOS 5 Max based on an updated BeOS 5 PE might work, and Zeta would likely work as well.
I want to get a 4GB SD card and load it up with various OS images that I can easily throw on the device at a whim, for just this purpose :)
Yes it does, although I believe the OS image is actually on a hidden partition.
I might be wrong, about that, but I do know it does include a CD and a method of restoring it back to factory defaults, including the OS.

Yes, it runs both NES and SNES perfectly, although you have to tell snes9x to run sound at 44.1KHz or 22KHz - the sound chip doesn't like 32KHz output.

I pushed 2 simultaneous snes9x instances perfectly, the 3rd instance started bringing the choppy.

I'd say performance is acceptable. :)
As long as you're actually buying the songs from iTunes.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
