The thing that always bothered me about the "Tablet/iTouch will kill handhelds" sentiment is the lack of focus on software.
This is a generalization, but a Nintendo exec once said it best, "Nintendo is the box that plays Mario games". It isn't pretty but it is true; as long as those Mario games properly serve the customers has they have been, handhelds won't just die off.
I have an itouch with the standard app fare but for the children and core users, there is always a spot for handhelds. Kids want it as the holiday toy, Mario/Pokemon box, and core users want the rest of the 1st party efforts & nostalgia. Plus, Japan has been producing the high-selling handheld content and has a presence globally in software that will support a handheld VG market.
