So, does anyone have any additional information on Intel's PVP (personal video player) design beyond what's been mentioned on sites like IGN?

Synopsis: Portable, hand-held (PDA size) device with a 4" screen running an XScale processor and served by a 20GB PC-Card hard drive (same as in Apple's Ipod). Capable of playing MP3s and MPEG4 movies.

I don't know anything beyond what's been written in those articles. I don't even know anything about the graphics chip recommended. Wouldn't I feel like I got a kick in the ass if it turns out someone's going to release one using an ATI chip (Imageon series is for hand-helds & wireless products).

With decent quality TV output, this is a little device I would be very interested in. Of course I'd be much more interested if it also offered some PDA functionality (which it isn't supposed to).

Sooner or later, the hand-held PC from OQO (http://www.oqo.com) will also be out (higher price point) and that should satisfy a lot of demanding uses.
