Device Name: (Tentative) XBOX XPX

The immediate inspiration for this idea came from the inhale concept of the XBOX 360 console and the size of the Nintendo DS. All exterior angles have been tapered to maximize in-hand comfort. The new XBOX 360 jewel rests on the top of the device for brand identification and to indicate the handheld opening. The jewel will house different color LED's to indicate the device state, new messages, charging, etc.

The actual CPU/GPU chipset will not be discussed here as technology in this area continues to grow rapidly. The XPX will take advantage of the most current and efficient chipset to best present the highest experience to the user. The internal flash hard drive in the XPX will offer a 20-40 GB size range.

I may repost the design with color schemes in the future. The design legend is located below. Click the pic for a larger view. Please post comments!
