A new rival to the PSP in technology.

I think those are some pretty nice specs for a handheld.

Probably won't make it to stores until 2006, but it looks like it is worth the wait, and seems to be an alternative to the PSP and DS.

Edit: Nevermind, I haven't heard of it, thought it was something else..

It says on your link "Apple's official release" or whatever.

I thought it was an April Fool's thing, but it may not be.

It is. If you search "gPod" in google, you get a bunch of sites using the same or similar press release, but at the end they say "April Fools".
