Clifford Scout 420: a step away from the PSP?

Clifford Scout 420 GPS Navigation and Media Player


We've seen quite a lot of PSP mods in our days, but for this one, we're quite not sure if you can call it as a mod per se. See it's a media player, and it's also a GPS navigator, but there's one very essential thing missing for it to even come close to being in competition with our beloved PSPs - games.

Fellas, behold the Clifford Scout 420 GPS Navi and Media Player. Made by Directed Electronics, maker of tons of commonly known electronics names, this nifty handheld is all prepped to be launched at the upcoming CES 2007 to be held in Las Vegas. Critics have been commenting on how the Clifford Scout 420 looks an awful lot like a very familiar "gadget" close to our hearts. Now now, we know this can never come close to your PSPs but with the PSP slowly moving toward its GPS capabilities, you also have to wonder: what if this Clifford Scout 420 also makes the move to having games?

Interesting what-if, eh? So anyway, no info yet on how much this baby will cost or where it's gonna be available, but with the CES 2007 set to kick off on January 8, we'll get to see just how it compares to the PSP in terms of GPS and media playback capabilites.

I hate being misunderstood!!! The topic of the article itself was about how it looks like a PSP. Of course its a piece of shiitake, just one that looks like a PSP.

This does look much like the PSP, and if it was hacked like ipod or something to play small games like tetris, maybe it would be interesting.
(it has enough buttons for a nes emu)

its alot easier to implement GPS than it is to implement games comparable to the PSP or DS

 » where is Sony waiting for ???
still waiting for Sony to release GPS for the PSP for other parts of the world than Japan.

I hope Sony understands now that if this company sees a commercial succes in a PSP look-alike, they have to act fast and bring us the GPS for PSP we are all waiting for
