I don't get it. While I think the move is smart, the price is outlandish.

Right now, you can buy a 16GB iTouch for $299. Within the next two months, Apple will update the iPod line and the 32GB iTouch will likely fall into the $299 category with a 64 taking the top-end slot (this is rather obvious given the new iPhone specs).

On top of that, the iTouch is going to be using drastically superior hardware than the PSP Go with (likely) four times the RAM and roughly double the clock speed.

What is Sony thinking?

It can do everything an IPod touch can do, except touch screen. It has a cheaper price, for now, and has a huge library of high quality games that are simply beyond the scope of what the Touch has shown thus far. All that ram and clock speed means nothing if you don't have the games to back it up.

 

All psp really needs to do is introduce extremely casual apps, like the lightsaber app on ipod.

Not only that, but the pspgo is upgradeable with cards. (AFAIK the ipod isn't)
