I'd just like to add my tuppence...
The old adage that you can't beat original hardware just doesn't ring true for handhelds. Carrying around a sackful of batteries and carts/cards, notwithstanding the oversized nature of retro 'handhelds', makes portable retro gaming not so, er, portable.
Gameboy Light aside, open-source handhelds like the Caanoo, Wiz and Pandora deliver a far more portable and, with regards to screen quality and battery life, better experience in my opinion.
