Screen sizes

I landed a PSP for Christmas. Whoopee. Just what I asked Santa for. I had been talking with the president of Intercasting Corp. over the holiday's. They just released a Brew app, Rabble, that allows user mobile content to be easily posted...sort of a "myspace" for mobile devices....which got me thinking again of screen sizes.

The folks at lunch were raving about the PSP screen. I'd seen one before, but having my own was a bit different. I'm a fan of PS2 and XBOX driving games and tried one on the PSP. It's a bit of a challenge. I suppose I need to try one on the phone now. as for video playback, a bigger screen is nicer, but I've been having no trouble ripping content onto my iPod video.

One blog reivew comparing the PSP and the Video iPod concluded:

It is very close to being a toss-up. The PSP has its strengths, and so does the iPod. Of course we didn’t try to watch either of them hooked up to a TV — something that you can’t currently do with a PSP — but the resolutions of the files lead us to believe that the difference would have been negligible. Really, it’s all about what you want. If you want super-sharp video and can stand the small screen size, the iPod isn’t a bad choice. If you want the larger screen and don’t mind losing a little bit of the image clarity, the PSP is your gadge
