The PSP is nice, but it is a bit bulky and if you have a game in there, you obviously can't switch over to music or a video without losing your place in the game. A next generation version should let you freely move between functions.
For the longest time, I was against Apple and their iPod's. About a year or so ago when the photo iPod's came out, I got Christina, my wife, the 60GB version with color screen. Why? Well, I simply couldn't match the power to value ratio anywhere else. Once Apple crossed the threshold of looking better than and providing more value than any other MP3 player manufacturer, it became a no-brainer to get an iPod over other devices, particularly with Apple having the best digital distribution service overall. So, yeah, I agree that if Apple integrates gaming properly, they can easily continue their dominance in the portable space and create a new category outside of the usual PDA/GameBoy-PSP/Cell Phone gaming sectors.
