Microsoft Corp. is reportedly working on a portable device capable of playing games, music and movies to challenge two mega-popular gadgets from rivals; Sony Corp.'s PlayStation Portable (PSP) handheld console and Apple Computer Inc.'s iPod player. The San Jose Mercury News cited unidentified sources in its report on Monday. According to the newspaper, it is unlikely that this device would be released within a year, if not two years.
Microsoft launched its next generation gaming console, the Xbox 360, in the US in November. Its launch is to be followed by Nintendo's Revolution console and Sony's PlayStation 3 (PS3). Both won't appear until late in the year, leaving the Xbox 360 the entire summer to just keep growing.
