of the Sony PSP and the iPod video

Most comparissons online seem to be between the Nintendo Ds and the PSP but i tend to think this is unfair as the PSP has not been designed for the Sole purpose of Gaming, whereas the Ds is.
I own a video Ipod and my brother owns a PSP so i have personally tested both products.
Ok lets start with the price. According to Amazon.com the PSP costs £179.99, including "Memory Stick, Battery Pack, Headphones, Demo Disc and More". The video iPod however costs £210.22 , and the package contains the standard iPod earphones and a single USB connection for both charging and transferring music.
The extra £30 is only a small difference to pay considering the overall price, but £30 could still buy you an extra Game or DVD for your PSP. Both products are fairly expensive however and a mere thirty quid seems unimportant when you are planning on spending so much already.
I will compare the resst later, but at the moment i cant be bothered.
Also i need to get something to eat...

I cant compare them
Simply, Sony PSP rulz!

i would say psp for the content but IPOD by far for quality and design so its a personnal choice

Sony PSP Battery life is lower. That's my only complaint. So I prefer iPod.

dLz "I cant compare them", "Simply, Video iPod rulz!"

well.. this is what i think

PSP:

Pro:
Bigger Screen (play anime with subtitle and you could still read it)
High resolution
Play game
mp3
pictures

Con:
low battery than ipod
Memory cost alot
less memory

Video ipod (well.. i never seen one.. yet but this is what i think of it)

Pro:
More space
play mp3
Could be used as an external hdd
Smaller than psp

Con:
smaller screen (i dont' think subtitle could be read)


Well... i don't know if i would spend $200+ buying either of those. Since i already have an mp3 player, i dont' need to have an ipod .. even though it would be nice to have one. I would rather spend it on a laptop. =P. you could do many more things with it.

I don't walk around much, so i dont' really need an ipod. Game get boring really fast for me..so psp would be a waste of money. That's why i would rather get a laptop =P.

hehe...both awesome
really have no convincing suggestion to offer ...
if opt fav,psp is okey.after all ipod always issue new product continuously:)

I think the Ipod is better. But on PSP you can play games.

Here is a comparisition of wich whoa re the best:
-Price: Ipod is cheaper.
-Size: Ipod (Is much smaller and not so have as PSP)
-Memory: Ipod (On PSP you need to buy an external very expansive Memory Stick pro duo card, Ipod have it build in (memory)
-Video Playback: I do not know, but Ipod can play Movies: http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/5668.html, perhaps the PSP is better becouse it have a much bigger screen.
-Music Playback: Ipod (PSP need a card)
-Games: PSP, Ipod can not play games??
-Accesories: I think PSP, but i am not sure.
-Battery: Do you play games, watch movies or listening on music? 2-12 hours on PSP. Ipod is much more.

But PSP have many other advantages, such as bigger screen, can play games and watch UMD movies. I suggest the Ipod.

i dont think these two products are even in the same category. First of all, how many people carry their psp around to listen to music? Not very many. Secondly, how many people carry around their ipod to watch a movie on it. Not very many. An ipod is mainly used for listening to music while one has to walk to class, run, or travel, etc. Not to watch a movie since the screen is sooo small and who has the time in a day to watch a movie when they arent at home anyway. A psp is used by a different class of people. They carry it around to play games before class, traveling, etc. and not for music or even movies. So in the end these are two separate products in separate categories so they shouldnt be compared.

IPOD is much better then psp in video and music but not games of course
