"My assumption would be that the attempt here is to make something like a
walkman with a screen.  While it's an interesting idea, the biggest problem I
foresee would be needing some sort of skip protection.  The Duo's not meant
to be held and moved around while being played, ya know..."

I don't think so.  I've been pondering this problem and I believe there's a way
to work around this limitation.  The key here is that I'm just proposing the
idea and wanted to know if there was any interest in it.  I plan to do some
research of my own into just how feasable it is, but as of yet I haven't had
time to look into it.

"Yikes...yeah...good luck on that.  Portable Duo?  What in the heck are you
talking about?  Are you planning on gluing a Duo monitor on top of the Duo?
If you were to work out the power requirements where you could take it on the
go, the whole setup would be something less than...erm...portable.  It's kind
of like an Xbox with a screen and battery pack.  Portable?  Bah...the thing
weighs 800 pounds and you can't exactly walk down the street playing the
bloody thing."

I never intended on using the duo monitor because, 1 they're VERY expensive for
what you get, and 2 I have no data on them.  But thanks for your encouragement
none the less >:(
If everyone here has as limited a view of this kind of thing as you three maybe
I shouldn't attempt this as there obviously wouldn't be any interest in it.
