Most of the handheld emulators I’ve come across recently only ever support NES ROMs. And while there’s nothing wrong with the NES, it definitely had some classic titles, I’m left wanting more. And the ‘Multi Platform Portable Gaming Entertainment Station’ from Chinavasion is exactly the ‘more’ I’m looking for. In addition to NES ROMs, the MPPGES can load SNES, Sega Genesis, GBA, Neo-Geo and even CAPCOM game ROMs, as well as popular multimedia formats like WMVs, AVIs, MPEGs and of course, MP3s.

The 320×240 2.8 inch LCD screen is more than adequate for my portable needs, and the healthy 4GB of built-in memory can be further expanded via a miniSD card. It’s even got an AV-out hookup that supports both NTSC or PAL in 16:9 or 4:3. All that for a ridiculously low price tag of about $86.

After a year of duty, the PowerShot A470 is finally withdrawing from the retail market. In its stead, Canon has announced the 10 megapixel A480. It’s 25% smaller than its predecessor and features a 3.3x optical zoom (up to 4x digital), 2.5-inch LCD screen, and a DIGIC III processor. The company is also touting a simplified button scheme and a choice of four colors to match your fashion tastes: red, blue, black, and silver. No definitive word on a US release, but Europeans can look forward to these in February for around £129.00 (US$188).

It was up for pre-order late last month, but now Creative’s proper successor to the Vado (that’d be the Vado HD) is finally on sale and ready to ship. For those with incredibly short memories, this 720p pocket cam boasts HDMI connectivity, 8GB of inbuilt memory for up to two hours of HD footage, a carbon black chassis, 2-inch LCD screen and an integrated USB connector for easy exporting. As for pricing, the MSRP sits at $229.99, but even Creative’s own webstore is offering it for $199.99.
