Here are some of the specs:

* CPU SPEED: SH4 - 200Mhz
* GRAPHICS ENGINE: Power VR2 (3million polygons/sec)
* SOUND ENGINE: 64 Channel ADPCM
* MEMORY: 16 Mb (Main) ~ 64Mbit SD-RAMx2
* MODEM: V34(33.6Kbps) ~ yes, this thing's got an int modem ^^
* OS: Microsoft Windows CE (custom version) ~ yes, and it's got Bill Gates in it too...
* MEDIA: CD-ROM (max speed - 12x)
* MAX COLOURS: 16.7 million colours

In short, this thing's twice faster than the N64 (on paper, at least), and will give Sony lots to worry about if it lives up to all the hype, and marketed at the right price. Game titles are already being written for this machine, which should be out THIS NOVEMBER.

MIght put more stuff up once I get the article translated.
