if now, you have extra 300 cash, will you purchase PSP or IPOD video (assume you don't have PSP nor any old version of IPOD) ?

also, for those who own PSP, a u able to listen MP3 while using homebrew such as text viewer ? (because mr. IPOD video can ) <-- this is my own qs, not showing selling points here.

lost my iPod last year, considering the a new replacement atm :)

PSP can't replace the iPod coz of its size, storage capacity & play time for music.

You just get so much more with a PSP, of course you cant fit as much music on a psp and the battery is a little shorter with just playing mp3s but omg, the psp has a huge widescreen display on it plays awsome fully 3d games, old snes games (emulators and roms), it can play movies on its huge widescreen, you can view pictures (so can ipod but w/e), use homebrew apps for everyday stuff like PSP-PDA and such. So i guess if you dont want any of that and just want a music player for 300+ dollars then go with the ipod.

Ipod is a DAP with video playback.
PSP is a Game handheld with Video/music playback

PSP has a 16:9 Widescreen
PSP's Widescreen consists 16.7 million colors
PSP >2.0 firmware can play emulators , isos , VNC servers etc
PSPs battery lasts 4 hours for Gaming 5 hours for Video and 13hours for music

Ipod's screen is 2"
Ipod's cant play emulators or any games because its a Digital audio player
Ipods battery lasts longer when used only for playing music otherwise it only lasts 2 hours for videos

so really if you listen to music only and want to carry your whole music collection get a DAP (Digital audio player) but not an ipod. Ipods suck for whats its worth.

If you like the idea of playing games on the go and you only carry some albums and videos with you then get the PSP.
