SteamBoy Machine Team Promises a Portable Console for Valve's Steam Games

According to an article at The Escapist, a group of hardware developers is working on a portable version of the long-rumored SteamBox console, dubbed the SteamBoy. (Video tease.) This portable version wouldn't be as powerful as some other Steam-centric rigs, but a representative of this group says "it will be possible to play the majority of current games in Steam." While the exact hardware itself is still under wraps, the SteamBoy design should feature a Quad-Core CPU, 4GB RAM, a 32GB built-in memory card, and a 5" 16:9 touchscreen. ... The pictured SteamBoy looks like a combination of the Steam Controller and the PlayStation Vita, with two touchpads, 8 action buttons, 4 triggers, and two additional buttons to the rear. While that should certainly be as functional as a Steam Machine, we still aren't aware what the system specs will be.

Something tells me nintendo might have some words for them if they try and sell the device under that name.

Re:More Vapourware?

[Nyder]

Valve have failed to deliver on just about every project they have worked on the past decade. Everything from Halflife to SteamOS/Steambox and now they are pushing their next Vapourware product. If it wasn't for their hugely successful marketplace flogging other peoples software this company would have gone bust years ago.

Spoken like an idiot who knows nothing on the subject they are talking about.
