SEGA working on portable media player

The Register claims Sega is working on a portable media player that may have enough functionality to "threaten Sony's PlayStation Portable".

The device is called Sega Vision, I'm not sure it will shine in gaming but it does offer a broad range of functionality. The device will feature a built-in TV tuner for portable TV, movie player, music player, digital camera, video camera, voice recorder, book reader and games.
Sadly, none of the machine’s technical specifications have been revealed yet, such as which music formats it’ll support, whether there’ll be on-board storage or how many megapixels the camera will have.

Sega told us that Vision will be launched in the UK at some point early next year, but a price hasn’t been set yet.
