The launch of the Asus ROG ALLY 2 is approaching, and today's leaks provide exciting details. It retains the 7" 120Hz VRR eDP display, while configurations hint at options reminiscent of a Super Steam Deck or an Xbox PC Handheld!
Will be available in two colors, Black and White. White one will be cheaper.

I said this nearly a year ago:

As much as I like how Steamdeck and Nintendo Switch bring a little bit more portability back into gaming, I'd still love to have a small handheld the size of the GameBoy Color or foldable like the 3DS.

I really liked that really small form factor.

But of course these would, once again, require dedicated games. You couldn't just run your Witchers and Cyberpunks scaled down to such a tiny screen, so, I guess this won't happen. 😁😅

Thanks, #tariffs. #Anbernic has suspended US-bound shipments of their #retro #handhelds. You can still purchase any device that is already at a US warehouse, but that stock will run dry after a while, and no new devices will be arriving for now. #videogames liliputing.com/anbernic-…

Some basic but interesting differences between #PocketPC #WindowsMobile devices.

This shows how the #Dell Axim has different image icons compared to the #iPaq.

More info is in the image description of each one.

#PDA #WindowsCE #RetroComputing #Handheld #Handhelds

The Dell Axim X50V is running Windows Mobile 4 also known as 2003 Second Edition.

The VGA screen is beautiful but unfortunately the image icons don't really help to tell the user what the file is without having them named the way that I do.

Jpeg appears to show an Amiga boing ball and PNG, BMP and Gif are all represented by the same icon of colored shapes.The Dell Axim X51V is running Windows Mobile 5. A big OS upgrade over WM 4.0.

The VGA screen is once again beautiful but unfortunately not much has changed.

It appears the Amiga boing ball has been replaced with someone surfing or perhaps a sail boat but for images other than jpeg, they are all represented by the same icon of shapes.The iPaq HX2795b is similar to the Axim X51V in that they both run Windows Mobile 5.0. The iPaq does not have a VGA screen however.

Looking at the image icons we can see a huge improvement over the Dell Axim.

Every image type is represented by a uniquely descriptive icon. BMP = Blue, GIF = Green, PNG = Purple and JPEG = Red.

I wish the Axim had these icons...Last but not least is the iPaq 210. This one is running Windows Mobile 6.0 and has a beautiful VGA screen.

It also retains the icons of the previous iPaq.

Every image type is represented by a uniquely descriptive icon. BMP = Blue, GIF = Green, PNG = Purple and JPEG = Red.

I wonder if this was a change unique to the iPaqs?

Happy 20 years to the PSP!

Here's my PSP 1000 model. This thing desperately needs some TLC; the battery no longer holds a charge and the control stick has an exaggerated drift, making most games unplayable. I get most of my PSP fix on the Steam Deck these days, but part of me wants to crack this thing open and see if I can restore it to working order.

Weird to think that we've now had two decades of 3D graphics on handhelds. Do you have any PSP favorites?

the "HD mode" in #lemuroid makes mobile suit #gundam seed battle assault for the #gba almost look like it's cell shaded. it was a bit offputting at first but it's kinda grown on me to the point that when I play the original, it seems kind of wrong. #retrogaming #android #handhelds #emulation

LegionGo #SteamOS #handhelds are here. It took me several minutes to unpack the Best Buy store to make sense of all the different SKUs so let me share what I found in a hopefully helpful way:

SteamOS Z1E 1TB = $750
Windows Z1E 1TB = $830

SteamOS Z2Go 1TB = $730
Windows Z2Go 1TB = $730

SteamOS Z2Go 512 = $550
Windows Z2Go 512 = $550

So almost all SKUs are the same price (Windows vs. Steam), except the top tier, which has an $80 premium for the Windows version.

They're charging a ~$200 Apple tax for an extra 512GB storage. That's about 8x what that costs off the shelf. Another reminder why I absolutely loathe Apple.

Oh and the old Legion Go w/ Z1E/1TB is $750, also $80 less than the Go S, and represents a much better value. I don't think these are going to do well. Valve needs better partners.

The future of #Windows #handhelds will not improve BECAUSE #Microsoft is so involved.

Don't blame the OS, blame the choice. Every manufacturer has read all the reviews of EVERY SINGLE HANDHELD lamenting the OS and its desktop focus.

From Tech Therapy vid "I don' blame Lenovo at all, I blame Microsoft, because they should know better, Windows just feels like it was never really meant to play games"

Lenovo knows better too, but good on them for running this A B test to put some hard data down.

Headline:
Lenovo Legion Go S Review: Blame Windows

The future of Windows game handhelds can't improve until Microsoft gets involved. Go with a Steam Deck, or wait for the SteamOS version of this handheld.

Just pulled the trigger on an Ayaneo Pocket DMG!
I wanted a white one but the black one came with a case which is nice (also the white was back ordered). I'll report back here when I have it, until then I'll be staring at the order tracking

I'm really debating on getting an AyaNeo Pocket DMG even though I have an RG406V thats been doing the job for a while.
And the ONLY reason why is because I cant charge and dock the RG406V at the same time which is incredibly disillusioning.
