@ ODC: Yeah the PSP doesn´t seem to profit to much from is multimedia functions... other projects to combine the two sectors like the N-gage have failed... but I and sure its only a matter of time until both markets get into a serious conflict...

 

n-gage is alive and kicking.

 

but it now a full platform instead of a single device.

it runs in all nokia new smartphones.

And the N-Gage service is still going to offer no real threat or competition to the DS or PSP. 

Combining gaming and cell phones is pretty stupid.  If I really want to drain my batteries at record speeds, I'd just spend more time talking on the phone.

All-in-one devices sound good on paper, but tend not to be very successful when average shmoe consumers are factored into the equation.  If something is too complex or complicated, consumers turn a blind eye.

 

I think it's laughable that Apple feels they can compete with the DS and PSP.  Sounds more like famous last words.
