.. Game Boy Advance!

Bought one for my other half, with Tetris, Mario Kart and Rayman (and subsequently, one for myself with Mario Land 2, Mario Kart and V-Rally 3)... I think they wicked, the games are soo playable/addictive.. and Electronics Boutique did a really good deal on them with a couple of games n stuff.

PS. V-Rally 3 actually plays better on the GBA due to no graphic update problems... not quite in the same league thou...

Snowcrash - when I've played it more I comment... haven't had a chance to get into it.. but it seems easier to get into than the PS2 version (greedy of me I know, but I have both..).. The graphics are awesome (considering the h/w its running on) and its really playable... Best advice, borrow a mates GBA just to see if you like the thing first.

I would recommend getting V-Rally, Tetris and Mario Cart with it.

GBA would make a perfect addition to my gadget collection but it needs a backlit screen a la Atari Lynx, do they do that yet?

Yeah they do a back light but not from Nintendo, I believe you have to cut some of the internal plastic away to fit it but it improves it in my opinion by 100%
