@zeromous,What exactly is wrong about having competition in the handheld space? I have both and like them for different reasons...I don't get the 'they need to pay' bit?
The PSP integrates with the PS3 through the minis program, remote play of PS1 games, remote play of TV in both EU and JP. Seems like much better integration than what the DS has given us so far. Have the newest bits of news from Apple and Win7 shown us that PSP and DS are now long in the tooth...sure, but I don't see that the DS is 'clearly ahead' technology wise.
BTW...I expect the PSP2 to be Custom Android based with apps being available only through PSN. Thus you'll get all the social and web functions/media functions that Win7 / iOS has with out all the R&D to build it inhouse, be able to take advangtage of a ton of free applications to enhance your product and still provide a SONY experience through vertical store and product integration with PS3 and Bravia and Dash and the like.
