psp is so ridiculously superior to any iFad product

As an iPhone and PSP owner I can see the value of both machines. For ease of use, iPhone is hard to beat. For music, video and non-gaming applications its a great piece of kit. As a proper gamer, I find the gaming experience of iPhone no more than a passing distraction. The gaming experience on PSP is much superior not least because it has an analogue stick.

I think Sony have realised that the PSP is largely dead as a multimedia device but they should keep it as a viable gaming platform. Sadly I think it'll be the DS and home consoles that will be to blame for its demise, not the iPhone/ iPod touch

There are a few things that could be done to bring the PSP up with the iPhone/Touch. I also have both and have to say that if I could get my videos onto PSP without having to convert them a hundred times, I'd use my PSP far more often than I do.

The gaming on iPhone, while not as good, will probably be more than fine for the majority of the market. Just look at the tat they put out on DS!

The audio quality on iPhone is better than PSP (in fact, I'd go as far as to say the digital to analogue converters on the PSP are rubbish) but again, the mass market listens to MP3s now and I'm sure they won't be concerned with sound quality one bit.

While the PSP has it's failings in the media department (and only because of the STUPID video process), surely it wouldn't take more than a firmware update to add support for different types of video. That would give it a far better chance. The MPEG abilites have been so under played compared with the media-hub-deluge of everything that's been said about PS3.

iPod gaming will remain as novelty "tilt and shake" until they can add a tactile, off-screen button system to it.

It is impossible to play any serious arcade game when you cannot feel a button and your finger covers part of the screen.

The biggest problem the iPod/iPhone has now is the sheer amount of junk in the store. Nobody wants to wade through pages of garbage in the hope of finding something decent. You can't trust the reviews as the authors are writing some of them.

They need to categorise commercial and indie so there is at least some chance of spotting the serious games from the novelty junk.

One place where it does win though is portability, the PSP is anything but portable, unless you have pockets the size of Wales. And god help you if you put your PSP in a case.

@1: I think you'll find the fanboy sites that way >>> close the door behind you, thanks.

Why the hell did the PSP not get an update to talk straight to the PS3 and store recorded TV shows from PlayTV on the PS3.
I woul dlove to be able to record stuff then plugg in download and watch the next day on the train...
Missed oppertunity

nate-dog - remember Betamax ;-) i am sure you would have said the same about that. perhaps you need to appreciate apple marketing and content delivery.

I for one am a happy iFad user - god i love my iphone.
