PSP and Gameboy DS isn't released yet, which means there is no development, which means no emulators. Pocket PC launched without any game emulators so your claim is null.

Your claim to the specs is null also, the PS1 had a 7.5 Mhz processor (I think) and a 625Mhz device can't emulate it at full speed. A PS2 runs at 200mhz but not even a top-of-the-line 3 Ghz computer can emulate it above 5 FPS.

It's all about the developers and the quality of the software that they develop, NOT the hardware.

Major companies are NOT going to develop for something that belongs solely in the niche gaming market. Prime example, look at the GP32 and the Zodiac. Hardly any games available and none from big-name companies (the ports of Duke Nukem and Doom 2 on the Zodiac was done by a different company than Id and 3D Realms). You can expect better emulators to come out for these devices but definitely nothing from Square Enix, Capcom, Namco, etc...
