I suppose if all you want to do is use the emulator this is fine, but for a PMP this is a poor choice, IMO. Max capacity for SD at 4GB? Please. Non removable battery (and no battery life numbers)? Ugh. 3.5" 320x240 16:9 screen? Might be passable, but the PSP's screen is bigger 4.3" and higher res (480x272, about 1.7x as many pixels). And from the looks of it, the only video format supported is what I assume to be Xvid/Divx AVI (which is what MP4 players support when they say MP4). All those other formats look like they need to be converted to AVI. And 25 fps is o.k. for PAL users, but I'm in the U.S. so I'd prefer 30 fps.
And what's with those randomly placed shiny stickers on the back?

Only if the PAL users can get the extra resolution that were used too! :P
