I have a PSP and love it (btw, SOCOM and GTA Liberty City just came out for the PSP, both great games) and have an iPod Nano and love that device as well. I did look at the iPod video and like all of the Apple hardware it is a really slick example of engineering. I like the idea of placeshifting tv onto either device but would have to go with the PSP first and foremost because of the screen size, and also because the screen is frickin awesome. The PSP also has wifi and Sony finally added a web browser to the software so you don't have to go out and buy Wipeout Pure to get one.
The one area that Sony is really coming up short on the PSP is in storage as it lacks a hard drive. There is a company that has a 4gb hard drive expansion for the PSP, but 4gb? Hell, for $230 I can get a 4gb memory stick and it consumes a lot less power than a hard drive. There are rumors that Sony is coming out with a new PSP in 2006 that will remedy this shortcoming, but not too many details have been released.

TiVo, the maker of digital video recorders, plans to announce a new feature on Monday that will let TiVo owners watch recorded television shows on Apple's video iPods and on Sony's handheld PSP game machine.
I bought one unit last week and I would like to take this opportunity to share my thoughts and reviews of the latest iPod Shuffle. Not only it is super slim and lightweight, I actually admire it for the full functionality and easy to navigate options menu. Of course the best part is, the sound quality is superb.
