Jeroen, it wasnt that someone leaked that Ben was building an Atari Laptop, it was that someone posted that it was done. Ben doesnt tell us what he's building usually til he reveals it, so just get used to it.

It's gotta be a Virtual Boy, the fact that you can't actualy use it anywhere but some place you know you can't bump into anything is irisistable.

Yes, he still hasn't denied an XBOX. Each time he's posted in this thread, he's shot down suggested systems...except the XBOXp. He's had plenty of time to shoot that down as a possible one, so my money's on that. Besides, in an XBOXp thread recently he posted that he thinks that the XBOX is definitely possible. Hint?

Oh, and if I recall correctly, he has discontinued his Phoenix production.
On his news page, Ben Heck wrote:I'm likely going to discontinue the "Phoenix" Atari 2600 portable soon. Mostly because I want to design a newer, better one
Perhaps the older portable he's working on is this different version of the Atarip. It makes sense to me.
