I'm a ex PSP owner & current iPhone owner.
I would go for iPhone for some personal reason:
- PSP is demm heavy, my hand get tired if I have to carry it 2hr in a bus/train while watching it.
- PSP doesn't feel nice to hold on my hand.
- To sync the video into PSP is troublesome (during my time), have to install this and that, convert this and that, take out the memory card and put it back. Then I have to remember which movie I watched, watch until where.
With iPhone I just use iTunes. And iTunes manage what I want, clean. iPhone remember where I last stop the movie (very important).
- Quality wise I can comment much, as this solely depends how you do video conversion. And the UMD is ofcourse good. But I don't use magnifying glass to watch a 3.5" video.

What I like for PSP is the animated clip you get when you're picking the video.
If you don't remember what's the title, at lease you can have a preview of what is it.

I think you mean a PMP, short for personal media player. A device that can display pictures and playback music and video all on one device. EPSON, Nokia, NEC, Creative, Microsoft, Apple and etc all want a piece from this market.

Personally, I think adding internet connectivity via WiFi just sweetens the whole deal. Now we only need the ability to selectively send and receive files for icing the cake. PSP has all of these features but its just a little big even with the new version. The down point is it lacks a touchscreen interface which is important when you want to do some input.

The iPod Touch is small and very thin. Basically it looks like a piece of mini tablet where you can jot on it. Reading from such a device is no doubt very challenging because of the small screen (even at 3.5"). But Apple was able to get around it by utilizing what it calls the pinch to zoom or double tap to zoom on the particular area that you want. And it does so smartly... by zooming to the area just nice for reading without scrolling horizontally. This is where a device with touchscreen excels at.

I think Nokia's N800 and the new N810 does that too which is superb. Now the only show stopper is support for Flash and Javas for the iPod Touch. An area the Nokia has always been good at, especially with Symbian S60 3rd Edition FP1.

UPDATE: To correct spelling.

3 main entertainment
which beats the best
i also kinda confusing to get a PSP lite or an Iphone...

like ipod touch bring the latest technologies tat we havent play before and psp now many games too.....like final fantasy crysis core(only psp) and more.....if you like to play games the psp is surely is the best choice but if you like to having something slim and easy for ur entertainment for example online and listen music of coz ipod....


Added on November 1, 2007, 12:51 amcompare the similary between tis two devices

Wifi website exploring

Ipod touch bring more convinience becoz easy to use and got the horizontal technologies

Psp got wifi for web explore also and it got smart fit funtion but the quality not very good all the thing is like squezz together and it is using joystick fot the pointing devices...

MUsic

Ipod touch still leading for tis becoz ipod got coverflow and also it is using mac os x means when listen to songs can also do other things like exploring website or check mail...

Psp only can run one application and the music player is very simple and not very user friendly

Video

This one a bit challange.....
Ipod got wide screen psp also got....

Psp got umd Video and also watching movie with memory stick now got PMP the quality nice as RMVB

Ipod hmm......still not very clear and good for image quality......

why most of ppl keep thinking psp loose to iphone in vidz quality?...if movies on the go is the concern these two(iphone n psp) share the same quality output eventhough psp can hold vidz up to 720*480...but let get back what r the 1st purpose this gadget to be built of...psp for mobile gaming n iphone music device with phone....so there is already a clear winner which one suit them the best....

for me the best of portable all around device should have...
*good mp3 n video management(in terms of software and user friendly UI)
*can handle various of format
*able to play media within +/- 10 hours
*lot of accessories range
*replaceable battery
other than that will be a bonus for the device...
(one thing i keep sigh when using apple product using windows was the itunes software eat a lot of RAM resources...not a good sofftware for a so-so pc like me )
*
so ur supporting ipod.... brows.gif

ipod touch/iphone is more to listen to music and the position of its earphone is better than psp.

For psp it is more to gaming. They are from 2 different world.

Back to the topic sony always bring the latest video technologies for example UMD video the best portable video, Blueray Technology and Full HD 1080....

if u wanna speak about history
apple have alot as well, H.264 codec from apple.. benifit everyone to enjoy great HD quality video with small file size.
apple made the first public computers....

sony brings alot new technologyto this world, thanks from them
but, they have very very bad managament inside. How many CEO they been change back from this 7 years?
pity sony is losing money everyday.......

talking about sound quality for mp3 world, no doubt we can know sony have better 1, but they still losing on marketing...
lack of accesories in market.

still, psp screen ratio is not the best for video.

ok, then ask yrself
how many UMD video will u own?
i think we have to speak in your living world,
YEs there is very good quality UMD, but if u never own it, what for we gonna discuss things that no gonna come into your life?

wil u willing to spend so much just for the mobile video?
we hardly see UMD video in malaysia market

dont forget, this kind of UMD also got region issue

if u buy hacked version psp like psp-1001,psp-2001
u have to stick with US region movie

if u have PSP-1000,2001, then stick with japanese region

PSP-1006,2006, Asia pacific region..
