The MoMA Eve was a handheld gaming console presented by Via at E3 2004.[4] It was supposed to play PC games as well as games designed for it. The player would have had to purchase a SIM Card to play purchased games on it. The buttons look like the buttons on an average video game controller with a D-pad on the left, four action buttons on the right, one Start button in the middle, and two analog sticks. It had a 533 MHz processor, a 20 GB hard drive for games and movies, Wi-Fi, and a CF slot.[5] It also had TV-OUT.[5] The console encountered a trademark issue in mid-2004.[6] The system was never released and is considered vaporware.
The system used a 533-MHz Eden-N CPU,[7] with an FSB operating at 133-MHz.[7] This operated in conjunction with a 200-MHz S3 Graphics UniChrome Pro Integrated Graphics Processor[7] and 128 MB of DDR266 SDRAM.[7] A 1.8" 20 GB Hard drive capable of 133 MB/s was used for storage.[7] [3]
The system used VIA Vinyl Audio, supporting six channels. The system had a 1/8" jack for Headphones and one 1/8 jack for Microphone.[3] The system also had a 1/8" TV out jack.[3] The system included 2 USB 2.0 Type A ports[3] The system was powered by two Prismatic Lithium-ion batteries with two slots in the console, and were hot swappable.[3]
