The Pelican VG Pocket is a handheld dedicated console, built by Jungletac and sold by Performance Designed Products LLC under their Pelican Accessories brand. It was the first console of its type to have a 2" backlit color LCD screen.
The VG Pocket has built-in games, the number of which varies with each model. Many of the games are clones of old Nintendo Entertainment System and arcade games. This gaming device also has a TV-out port with composite video and audio streaming through a non-standard stereo mini headset jack.
In 2008, the VG Pocket Caplet and the VG Pocket Tablet were finalists in the International Design Excellence Awards. They were designed by Stuart Karten Design, a Los Angeles based industrial design firm.
Famous quotes containing the word pocket:
“The stabbing horror of life is not contained in calamities and disasters, because these things wake one up and one gets very familiar and intimate with them and finally they become tame again.... No, it is more like being in a hotel room in Hoboken let us say, and just enough money in one’s pocket for another meal.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
