Gameboy - the one, the only. An absolute classic.
Nomad - a terrific idea, except for the part where the battery life is half an hour if you're lucky. Oh well...
Wonderswan - had some really great games (now if only they'd ever been translated!) Also, points for being the only handheld to be based on the 8086, because I value quirkiness.
