Nokia is trying to compete with Nintendo in the handheld gaming market with this device. Sega has already announced a few different games for the system including a Super Monkey Ball title and a 'new' Sonic game.
Of course the GBA already has these games and the system is much cheaper- $60 now and no doubt cheaper when the GBA SP hits shelves in a few months.
I don't think that Nokia can overtake Nintendo in this market. After all, no one has so far and many have tried.
I'll have to see more to make a final judgement on it though.
I got to see some games run on it. They looked good but that's all I can say about it. I can't see it rocking Nintendo's GBA boat. I look for this thing to cost twice as much as a GBA. Maybe even 3 times as much.

Looks pretty...
But since its Nokia, I would expect a trial or at least 900/1800..
Anyway, since it is a phone-like device, this belongs in Digital Hub. Moving now.
