Anyone else planning on getting one? I mean, yeah, it's pretty early on, but a PS3 in hand does sound like a recipe for fun.

Dimmukane:
Eh.  Handhelds have failed to dazzle me since I gained the monetary capacity to buy them.  I think it has something to do with screen size.  There are a ton of fun-sounding games out there but I just can't bring myself to drop money on a device to play games on a screen the size of an index card when there are ones you can hook up to a big-ass TV.  I would play the shit out of that one that uses the rear touch pad to change the terrain, but only if I was given it for free.

There certainly is a market out there for handhelds, I won't deny that.  I do own an iPod touch, but that's mostly because it can do a TON of other things besides games.  I just don't consider myself part of that audience.  The last handheld game I played was Pokemon Gold.  I've still got it around here somewhere, but I haven't touched it in at least 6-7 years.

est:
I have an iPhone for games on the go and don't own a PS3 because for a while there Sony forgot they were trying to make a gaming platform.  The PSP was unimpressive, the PSP GO even moreso.  Unless this new thing has something absolutely amazing going for it I very much doubt I'll want it either.

Ozymandias:
In all technical respects, it's a magnificent looking machine.

And yet, all I can drum up for it is a "eh". It looks like the PSP in form and thus all I think about is the PSP and I had some good times with that thing but there's a reason I have no idea where it is right now. Mediocrity in a glossy black shell.

Ikrik:
They lost me at touch screen, another touch screen on the back, SIXAXIS, dual cameras, as well as 3G.  Really Sony, you want to throw in the whole kitchen sink?  Why not add a microphone and a cup-holder while you're at it?  Honestly, the next generation of handhelds have totally lost me.  Look at the list of games that are being released for the console, for the NGP it's

Uncharted
Killzone
WipeOut
Resistance
LittleBigPlanet

What reason do I have to play these on what's going to be your amazing little screen when I can play the better game on my Playstation?  And how much is this thing going to cost?  From what I've been hearing, a lot of analysts are saying 300-350.  So...I can choose between buying an Xbox, a PS3, a Wii, or this guy.  Why would I want this guy at all?
