Changing a rechargeable battery is just as easy (if not easier) than changing AA batteries. And actually with the N-Gage you have to take out the battery anyhow in order to switch carts, so it doesn't matter. Those who don't think of getting an extra battery pack are idiots. People with camcorders, digital cameras, portable DVD players, laptops, etc. all buy extra rechargeable battery packs for their systems. If you're so dumb that you don't know how to change a battery pack then you're probably too dumb to know how to change carts.
There's no way the PSP will have a battery life of 3-6 hours just for MP3's. If it can power a system close to the capabilities of a Dreamcast with that battery life then it should have a battery life at least twice that of a regular mp3 player. However, Sony has already stated that the PSP discs won't be re-writable so I don't know how it's going to play movies or music. Right now all we know is that it's going to play games, and that battery life estimate was for games only.
Nokia is stupid, and knows nothing about game hardware or software. Sony knows what they're doing and are way ahead of even Nintendo--the best video game developer in the world-- in the console market. It is very stupid and naive of you to think that Nokia's failings in the handheld market has any bearing on Sony's.
