I'm not too familiar with the handheld PC space, but one thing that stuck out to me was the IR webcam. I wonder whether that will enable some neat things in the same vein as the Nintendo Switch's IR sensor.
Nintendo special features are pushed by Nintendo into its software... PC developers aren't going to invest into something maybe one customer in 10000 will use
Well, sure, but with this device there's maybe the potential for indie developers to do something unique with that hardware I suppose?
Not really sure what the barriers to entry are for an indie dev to develop for the Switch. Maybe it's not as difficult as I imagine it is. /shrug
