PSP

I like PSP but they're hard to find and are extremely expensive.

I agree

I agree with this article. I do have an iPhone and a DS. However, I am planning to get a PSP due to high quality games (not just graphically). Currently I don't find many apps on the iPhone app store that really compete with actual game systems (well, except for Need for Speed, which is pretty good). I also disagree with people who say the iPhone is more advanced. Yes, it does have really good hardware and was made after the PSP but it does not compete well with the PSP. The iPhone's processor is faster, however the PSP has many processors (correct me if I'm wrong) that split up different tasks (not really like dual/quad cores). Also much of the iPhone's RAM is taken up by the phone part of it. Even so I still find the iPhone a nice device to have if you want a phone and a small gaming device.

I Disagree

I feel the iPhone is technically advanced and within the next few months we will see many dedicated games blowing the PSP out of the water for sheer graphics and accessibility. It's understandable due to the iPhone being current technology.
