Not Just a Game System

Read the comparison of these competitive mobile (hand-held gaming) devices, providing a variety of entertainments from gaming, music, video, to chatting (phone calls, internet, or my favorite PictoChat):

Nintendo DSi vs. PSP-3000 vs. iPod Touch (or iPhone)

by Ross Miller, Oct 2nd 2008

Differences among these guys are:
• Nintendo DSi is about media entertainment with additional values to enhance social interaction, provide learning experiences, and facilitate healthy lifestyle (innovative hardware - the touch screen).
• PSP-3000 is entertainment, entertainment, entertainment in hardcore style. It has better graphic quality and familiar button interface (trying to go casual).
• iPod Touch (or iPhone) lets you work and play! Also very flexible when it comes to adding new applications (developer-friendly platform). Already MMOs are coming to iPhone.

I somehow still prefer to keep my mobile phone doing any voice/text-related tasks but not anything graphical, leaving that to a more powerful computer with bigger display. But iPhone is such a temptation.
