And for content, I wouldn't declare Apple the winner just yet either: Sony's got a lot of its own content already that it could put up for rent immediately. It's got relationships with other movie makers as well (all those who have put movies on UMD). And for TV shows, well Sony does have relationships with TV producers as well, as evidenced by all the TV DVDs they put out. iTunes obviously has a big lead in the online sale of digital media market, but when it comes right down to it they've got something like 4 TV shows and a handful of other videos available. Sony could still pop a vid store on the US and hit back pretty hard. And remember - TV producers and movie makers aren't going to limit their sales to just one platform. They can sell Lost on both the iPod and PSP.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/Dec 19th 2005 2:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/
Lest you forget, iPod is a music player first, all else is secondary.

There is no direct comparison here from a player perspective. However, iPod/Apple/iTunes is a lot more ubiquitous, and has already beat Sony on their home turn, music. I bet it happens again here, 'cause Sony will cripple the content to death--as they did with music.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/Dec 19th 2005 2:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/Dec 19th 2005 2:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/
So I got a PocketPC, the Dell x50v, it has 640x480 res which DVD's look looooovely on, can take a cheap 5gb Microdrive (seagate ones are avlaible for $99) and can do wireless, bluetooth and all the cool hacks you may want.

With the the game selection staying feeble for the PSP I think I made the right choice.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/Dec 19th 2005 2:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/Dec 19th 2005 2:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/:-)]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/Dec 19th 2005 2:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/

The iPod is a MP3 player with video playback capabilities, but a very, very small screen. So watching movies requires a TV. The iPod has no input device, so data entry/web navigation is possible, but difficult. A Mac or Windows PC is needed to put music and videos on it.

PSP has been developed from day 1 to be a portable entertainment device. Gaming is it's first and biggest use, but UMD video, MS video and music playback, comibined with a web browser and user input allows it to do much more. True, it's limited by it's storage, but who really keeps around a bunch of TV shows and movies after they've watched it? I usually delete everything I've downloaded and watched to make room for more. If I liked the movie enough to watch it more than once, I'll buy the DVD.

As far as who will win the war of downloadable pay-per-view movies/tv, don't forget that Sony OWNs many of the large movie studios and TV networks. This is why so many titles are available on UMD.

Apple simply has proven that they can sell TV episodes for $2 and music tracks for $1 and they have a large userbase of iPod owners. Sony can offer much more to it's end users, simply because it owns the rights to distribute the original works. They just need to get a site like iTunes up and running and get the PSP in the hands of more people.

Homebrew, you guys are still using a PSP for homebrew/emulation? That's pathetic, get a GP2X.

The GP2X beats the PSP in every way except for wifi, and commercial games (even tho most are terrible).

PSPs are bulky, scratch easily and do not fit in your pocket. I can honestly say i hate them and that's why i sold mine. Used to be a big fan of Sony, but since their PSP, i aint following their attempt at the handheld market any longer. PS3 is the only thing they gonna have goin for gaming.

For commercial games, I'd say get a DS, they have an ugly design/interface, are bulky as well, but the library they have coming up for 2006 is incredible and is going to rob be blind.

Plus the fact that they now have NDS WiFi for playing against ppl all over the world.. It's Xbox Live all over again. :-)

Anyway, I see no reason why you guys still have a PSP if you got em, they aren't good for nothing - anything they can do a cheaper device can do better.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/psps-2-60-firmware-does-480-x-270-video/
By the way, the ipod nano was my brother choice and without any novelty he too has jumped on to the bandwagon of PSP with we both looking forward to a lot of game sharing stuff.

Well now got to go and buy that Ridge raceers thing....
