For most people, gaming is a nice to have extra, not the focus of their device. It's far more important that the device is able to get flight info, find the nearest restaurant, or be able to send a text message. They will never have the desire to play an RPG or FPS game, in fact many people hate that stuff.
I bet if you took random people off the street and asked them if they would rather play FF or Scrabble, most people would ask what is FF? then say yeah I love Scrabble.
I know this is a gaming site, but jeez people need to remember there are other folks in the world besides gamers and technophiles.

Grimes no one is saying Iphone product is not a great phone filled with a lot of features may it be overpriced, what we are saying is that they are no threat gaming wise when it comes to Sony PSP and Nintendo DS. We are not talking about the other features of an Iphone we are strictly sticking with the gaming department and others who are talking about other features really shouldn't be, both Apple and Sony are in the wrong in their collective statements.
Also while I am still on topic for once this statement "But worst is the buying experience. Having to go to the store and trying to find a hot new title is not a lot of fun." has to be the worst statement ever,
1. In this day in age not only can you order practically anything to anywhere via amazon or other retail sites.
2. Sony is offering a product that is pretty much the same as Iphone whatever store.
3. The buyer experience is up to the buyer, and personally I never felt going out of my way to actually go into a store was the worse thing. Hell if it wasn't for me actually looking for a title, I would never been introduced to Metal Gear Solid.
