Just curious... I couldn't find it anywhere.

sp = Super Pocket!

It's a guess.

SP= Spend more money on our Products

Thanks Nintendo!

And yes I am a sucker and will most likely pick one up on launch day.

We have spent the morning in joyous union with Nintendo’s Game Boy Advance SP, the grown up version of its massive Game Boy Advance. Making the leap from toy to consumer electronics product, the SP is massively important in many ways.

First off, and you won’t read this anywhere else, the SP stands for Special Project. This was the name the device carried throughout its three-year development cycle and it just kind of stuck. Nintendo will now just shrug when this is asked, which is a little odd.

Nothing. It used to mean Special Project, now it stands for nothing.

Close...

January 09, 2003 - Nintendo held an intimate meeting in Las Vegas today to give the industry a hands-on experience with its brand new Game Boy design that it unveiled on Tuesday, the Game Boy Advance SP. Many of the units at the meeting were actually marked on the bottom with what might be the unit's original system name: Game Boy Advance DX. But it's the Game Boy Advance SP, and it will forever be known as the Game Boy Advance SP. And incidentally, "SP" stands for "Special."

And I just saw this cool gadget for the GBA:

http://gear.ign.com/articles/382/382147p1.html

Category: Electronic Gaming
Product: Solar Pak XP/GEGBASP
"The Solar Pak individualizes the GBA with a space-saving futuristic design that charges via the sun or the included AC Adapter. The Solar Pak transforms natural sunlight into energy used to supplement battery power. Accented by futuristic aesthetics (a solar voltaic array and four light emitting diodes [LEDs] with a metallic silver coating), the Solar Pak is operational both outdoors and indoors. The Solar Pak will set you back $29.99 MSRP and will be available in March 2003. We'll have a hands-on with the product tomorrow, if available.


I cannot tell which GBA it will work with, if both.
