Riight, so the other arguements are valid but the one about battery life is off base.
Many people don't think of getting an extra battery. Its pretty expensive and somewhat of a hassle... better than batteries? Only in some ways. Batteries are far easier to switch and won't not work if you forget to charge them. :)
Though, yes, it is true that part of the arguement is that its also a cell phone so you play games for a while and you very easily could have a dead phone when you need it. That battery life would be okay for a phone, but for both? And if you also use it for MP3s? No way.
Sony will have a similar problem... not quite as bad, but similar. After all, the PSP is also a multi-function device... use one for a little while and the power is gone for the others...
