You read enough newspapers and online media sites and you can find out just about everything you ever wanted to know -- and more.

How about this? The Edmonton Sun, the newspaper up in Canada, reported that Dean Takahashi's blog (he's a reporter for the tech-savvy San Jose Mercury News -- and the author of Opening the Xbox) noted that Microsoft is working on a handheld gaming, music and video device.

Is it really a rumor? Here we go playing leap-frog in the handheld category -- PlayStation Portable anyone?
