Well, I was thinking more along the lines of Microsoft's XNA, but I don't
know too much about it, so I don't know how it works, compared to other
consoles. (Oh, and I know that the linux in the PS3 is useless.)
Something that I just came across was this: http://www.gp2x.com/
It's an opensource handheld. Looks like it has some 3d capabilities, but I'm
not sure how powerful it is... it does run dual arm processors, but I'm not
familiar with those particular processors. What I have a sinking feeling it
would turn into would be the software renderer running 2d sprite based
stuff, or prerendered 3d sceens. (aka original Myst. )
Still, I think it might be worth getting a development kit from those guys.
