i personally use my psp for more media than the iphone. for gaming, the psp wins hands down again the ipod touch and iphone. you cannot even compare the two. just the you cant compare the ds to the psp. the new psp will be announced next month in june at E3. it will be shipping by the end of the year, in time for the holiday season. the new psp will directly compete with the ipod touch and iphone. i see the psp integrating wireless data for making phone calls over wi-max or something of that type. it won't have a cellular plan, it will have a data plan. phone calls can be made over the data plan.
the new psp will also have downloadable games (just like the playstation store now, but many more games including psone games, psp games, and psp2 games). movie + tv rentals/purchases will also be available directly on the new psp. in addition, music downloads will be available too from the playstation store as well. the new psp is going to excel in many ways becoming a solid gaming system, data communicator, media center. no doubt. they have had enough time to work on it now. i can see it having a built in flash drive as well as expansion slot. additionally, touch screen is a high possibility. the psp does not need a touch screen, but it could be seen as useful for media center navigation and menus as well as bare-bone games using new touch screen technology. most games however will still use the analog stick and buttons. the new psp2 will also have 2 analog sticks, hopefully! and the addition of a L2 and R2 triggers would be much appreciated for all current playstation owners!
those are my thoughts, in a few weeks we will see. stay tuned and check out E3 coverage. supposedly sony will have the largest booths at E3.
